(It has been pointed out to me by my friend Mr George Jennings Hinde, 

 that Mr S. A. Miller, in his ' Catalogue of the American Palaeozoic Fossils,' p. 

 52, states that this species was described by Troost in the 5th Geol. Rep. of 

 Tennessee, in 1840, under the name of Calamopora hemispherica. I have not 

 included this reference in the above list, as I have not access to Troost's work, 

 and have therefore no means of verifying it. Milne-Edwards and Haime do 

 not include Troost in their list of references. If, however, Mr Miller's reference 

 be correct, then Troost's name should follow the species in place of the names 

 of Yandell and Shumard.) 



Spec. Char.- — Corallum generally hemispherical or irregularly

 several inches in diameter. Coral-

 about one line or rather less in

 line to a line and a quarter. Calices
