ALCYONARIA OF SIND. 85 



and it comes well up to the calicular margin. There are nearly six cycles of septa, and 

 the majority reach far in towards the axial space. The larger septa appear to have been 

 lobed within and ragged on their free surface near the calicular margin. 



Height nearly 3 inches. 



Length of the calice 2-j^ inches. 



Locality. North-west of Lal-Bakhar range near Karachi, in the Gaj series. 

 Survey-number G ^^.

The corallum is straight, conical, thick, moderately tall, compressed slightly, 

 especially in its middle. The epitheca is strong and forms growth-rings. The calice is 

 elliptical, more or less in the form of the figure 8. The axes of the calice have the ratio 

 of 100 : 170 ; the summit of the smaller axis is slightly higher than that of the larger. 

 There are 120 well-developed septa, moderately slender, straight, alternately large and 

 small, and between them is a corresponding number of rudimentary septa. The height 

 of the corallum may be more than 2 inches. The endotheca is well developed. 



Messrs. D'Archiac and J. Haime do not give the locality whence the coral was 

 derived, but state that it is peculiar to Sind. 



The specimen found by the Geological Survey is in height 2^ inches, and the 

 breadth of the calice is 1^^ inch. 



Locality. Dumb, Sehwan-hill road, in the Gaj series. Survey-number G ^^f-.

Genus LEPTOMUSSA, Beuss. 



1. Leptomussa kugosa, Duncan. Plate XXII, Fig. 8. 



The corallum is simple, tall, compressed, very irregular in its growth, being con- 

 stricted here and there above its broad pedunculate base. The calice is elongate, 

 deformed, rather deep, and without a columella. The costse are exceedingly developed,
