Description of the Species. 

 MADREPORARIA APOROSA, Edw. & Haime (1857). 



Eamily TURBINOTOME. 



1. Elabellum appehdiculatum, Brongniart, sp. 



A small specimen of this species, which resembles the one from 

 Crosara, in the Castel-Gomberto district, is amongst Mr. P. T. Cleve's 

 collection from St. Bartholomew's. It differs from the type in having 

 a larger pedicel. 



The species was first described by Brongniart, in 1823, under the 

 genus Turbinolia ; and subsequently Bronn and Milne-Edwards & 

 Jules Haime placed it in the genus Flabellum. It belongs to a 

 group which characterizes the Eocene formation of Biarritz and 

 Ronca. 



Eamily OCULINLDJE. 



Division STYLOPHOBiNiE, Edw. & H. 



1. Stylophoea compeessa, spec. nov. PL XIX. fig. 5. 



The corallum is ramose ; and the branches are flattened out, but 

 thick. 



The ccenenchyma is well developed ; and there is much space be- 

 tween the coraUites in some parts, and less in others. It is very 

 faintly granular, and is marked by a ridge which meanders be- 

 tween the calices^ and includes them in more or less geometrical 



The calices are small, and are surrounded by a raised rim, which 

 is rather wavy. 



Six principal septa reach the small styloid columella. The other 

 septa are rudimentary. 



Loc. The limestone of St. Bartholomew's, West Indies. 



In the collection of the University of Upsala, and of Mr. T. P. 

 Cleve, of Stockholm. 



2. Stylophoea distans, Leymerie, sp. 



3. Stylophoea confeeta, Reuss. 



4. Stylophoea tttbeeosa, Reuss. 



These species were noticed by Reuss in the Coral-fauna of Monte 

 Grumi and Montecchio Maggiore, and are represented in the lime- 

 stone of St. Bartholomew's, as are also Stylopliora c/ranuVuta, Duncan, 

 and Stylophora affirm, Duncan. 



These last two forms are members of the Caribbean Miocene Coral- 

 fauna — the first having been described by me from the Jamaican, and 

 the last from the Antiguan deposits. 



The genus is extant in the present reefs of the "West Indies ; and 

 all the species are closely allied.
