 1. Ulophyilia macrogyra, Eeuss. 



Eeuss has described a species which was found at Castellaro, near 

 Castel Gomberto, under this title. Previously he had included a cor- 

 responding form within the genus Latimceandra ; and he expresses 

 his doubt as to the correct position of the coral by affixing a note of 

 interrogation after the generic title of Ulojpliyllia. The absence of a 

 columella appears to render the form rather anomalous. 



After due consideration, I feel disposed to believe that the judi- 

 cious palaeontologist to whom we are so much indebted for such ex- 

 cellent work, is correct in his last determination. 



A fine specimen of the species occurs in the conglomerate of St. 

 Bartholomew's, West Indies, and is in Mr. P. T. Cleve's collection. 



1. Plocophyllia caliculata, Catullo, sp. 



The history and diagnosis of this genus and species are admirably 

 given by A. E. Eeuss in his ' Pal. Stud, iiber die alteren Tertiar- 

 schichten der Alpen,' 1 Abtheil. p. 17 *. 



It is found at Monte Grumi and Montecchio Maggiore. 



A specimen occurs in Mr. P. T. Cleve's collection, from the con- 

 glomerate of St. Bartholomew's, "West Indies. 



1. Manicina areolata, Linnaeus, sp. 



A young specimen of this common recent West-Indian form is in 

 Mr. Cleve's collection, and appears to have come from the conglome- 

 rate of St. Bartholomew's. 



The walls are not united, although incurved considerably ; but 

 otherwise the specimen, which is fossilized like the others from the 

 same locality, resembles the recent forms. 



M. Pourtales describes the species from the Florida Beef as living 

 in from three feet below low- water mark to five or six fathoms (Beef 

 Corals, in No. iv. IUustr. Cat. Harvard Coll., 1871). 



1. Leptoria profunda, spec. nov. PL XX. fig. 8. 



Tljo "collines" are thick; and the series of undistinguishable 

 calices is long and deep, but wide centrally. 



The septa are crowded, curved, and mostly very thick and well 

 dcvoloped ; and there are 16 in A iuch. 



The columella is thin, but distinctly lamellar. 



Greatest depth of series l^inch. Breadth T 9 y inch. 



In the collection of Mi'. P. T. Cleve, Stockholm. 



Loc. In the limestone of St. Bartholomew's, West Indies. 



The genus is represented in the Oberburg Eocene Coral-fauna, in 

 * Wiener Denksckr. vol. xxviii. p. 145.
