-6i CONTRIBUTIONS TO CANADIAN PAL^EONTOLOC V. 



The identitication of the specimens firim these localities with the Euro- 

 pean coral named above, is given on the authority of Dr. Freeh himself, 

 who examined the whole of them carefully during a visit to Ottawa in 

 (.)ct()ber, ISSl. The indi\idual figured I'epresents a short and broad form 

 of this coral, others Ijeing nmch longer in proportion to their breadth, 

 and more nai-rowly sul)-cylindrical. These latter api)roach veiy nearly in 

 form to the C. Riflia rihoiii, of the Devonian rocks of the Mackenzie Rivei- 

 basin, which belongs to this section of the genus, but according to Dr-. 

 Freeh, the septa of C. Rirliiinhoiii arc thicker and less numerous than 

 those of his C. r<'rniifiihiri\ \a.v. piimo'siir.

Dr. |i^'(."ch, who has examined the specimens refei'red to C. fd's/ii/ds-imi, 

 Goldfuss, on page 200 of the present volume, thinks that the small mass 

 of loos(dy aggi'egated corallites from the Peace River, collected by Profes.sor 

 Macoun in L^7o, is conspecitic with C. cirs/ii/iwiun, but that the simple, 

 or neai'ly simple, specimens from the Hay River, collected by Mr. McCon- 

 nell in 1SS7, are referable to (J. din iitJiiis, (ioldfuss. A single (\\ample 

 of a coral which has pi'ecisely the same internal structure as these Hay 

 River specimens of C. (ll(iii//i n.t, and which dift'eis from tliem chiefly in 

 having six lateral buds, was collected by Mr. Tyrrell in 1880, at the 

 Lower Salt Spring on the Red Deer River.
