62 THE FOSSIL COEALS AND 



the axial fossula is elongate and limited by the septal ends. The margin is rather 

 sharp. The septa are very numerous, being more than 400; they are exceedingly thin, 

 long, well separate, subequal, and united often by dissepiments as thin as themselves. 

 Near the margin some small septa intervene. The septa are slightly spinulose or 

 crenulate at the free edge. 



The base is convex, and more so from side to side than is the long diameter ; there 

 is a delicate peduncle surrounded by a circular ridge of epitheca, and this is succeeded 

 by other broader and more prominent epithecal ridges, some of vphich cover the costse 

 to close to the margin. 



The costse are visible at the pedicel, and here and there between the epitheca ; they 

 are as delicate and thin as the septa, are numerous and subequal, and united by exotheca. 



Height of the coral 1 inch ; length 3 inches ; breadth 2^ inches. 



Locality. North of Maliri, Khirthar group. Survey-number G -^g-.

1. Calamophtllia Indica, Duncan. Plate XIX, Figs. 6, 7. 



The corallum is tall, and consists of a bundle of corallites tolerably closely placed 

 together, branching once here and there, and being more or less deformed, and both 

 angular and rounded. The costse are not visible ; the septa are thin, and in about four 

 cycles ; the columella is very small. The endotheca is well developed, and there is a 

 slight swelling of the long corallites here and there. The wall is stout. 



Height of the corallum 4-| inches. Breadth of a calice i% to ^ inch. 



Locality. Hindi hill. Upper Khirthar beds. Survey-number G -^4^.

The species is allied to Calamophyllia fasciculata, 'Re\iss, = C.^abellum from the 

 Upper Nummulitic of Oberburg. 



Genus LATIM^ANDRA, VOrbigny. 



1. Latim^andea insignis, Duncan. Plate XX, Fig. 10. 



The coral is large, flat, thin, circular in outline, and pedunculate. A very feeble 

 epitheca exists, and radiating costal strise are seen through it or are uncovered. The 

 series, which are very shallow, broad, comparatively straight, except here and there 

 where there are leaf-like off'shoots, radiate from the centre of the upper surface to the 

 margin. The valleys are shallow and broad, have a distinct axial line, but no columella ; 

 and the septa, large and wide apart near the line, are more numerous, and sometimes
