282 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. 



Found in the Wenlock shale at Atwoods Shaft, Lickey. 



Mr. Lonsdale mentions its existence in the Caradoc sandstone of Coal Moors, Lickey. 



A specimen is in the Collection of the Geological Society. 



This coral differs from most of the other species of Cyathophyllum by the small extent 

 of the tabulae. This structural character is also met with in C. damnoniense 1 and 

 C. Stutchhuryi.' 2 ' The above- described fossil differs from the first of these by the vesicles 

 being much more regular ; and from the second by the absence of large cells between the 

 space occupied by the tabulae and that occupied by the vesicular tissue. It differs also 

 from both these species by septa being much less numerous.

Cyathophyllum recurvum, Milne Edwards and Jules Haime, Pol. Foss. des Terr. Palaeoz. 



(Arcb. du Mus., vol. v), p. 368, 1851. 



Corallum simple, turbinated, becoming subcylindrical by the progress of age, very 

 narrow at its basis, strongly curved, and covered with a rather thick epitheca. Accretion 

 ridges not very large. Calice suboval, deep, and presenting rudimentary septal fossula, 

 situated on the side corresponding to the convex part of the corallum. 38 well- developed 

 thin septa, alternating with an equal number of smaller ones. Height of the corallum 

 about 2 inches ; breadth of the calice about 8 lines ; depth 5 or 6 lines. 



Dudley. Wenlock. Old Radnor, Presteign, Radnorshire ; Sedgley (M'Coy). It is also 

 met with in Gothland. 



C. ceratites, 5 to which Professor M'Coy compares this species, differs from it by its 

 general form, its numerous septa, and its calice, which is almost polygonal. 



The coral found by Col. Portlock at Desertcreat, in the county of Tyrone, and referred 

 by that geologist to the Turiinolopsis elongata of Phillips, appears to belong to this 

 species.
