No text to the tables was found, but I have endeavored to retain the old specific 

 names, used, in so far as is possible, in their original meaning, and by publishing the work 

 to give a visible proof of the interest in paleontology shown by an earlier generation. 



Some of the specific names were commonly known to the earlier paleontologists. 

 Fischer Benzon^), for instance, cites the following series from Faxe: 



Turbinolia sp. (faxeensis), also found at Stevns Cliff. 

 Monomyces pusillus, Steenst. and Förch. 



— brev is, — — 

 Aslraea. 



Carijophyllia /axeensis Bech. 



(Calamoplujllia jax. d'Orb. L. and Br. Jahrb. 1851, p. 102.) 



Cladocora. 



Puggaard^) mentions as the only coral from Moen 



Turbinolia excavata V. Hag. 

 Lundgren^) gives the following list of corals in his fauna. 



Monomyces faxeensis M. U. H. 



— pusillus M. U. H. 

 Oculina sp. 



Caryophyllia faxeensis M. U. H. 



A. V. Koenen*) describes two species of corals found at Vestre Gasværk, Copenhagen: 



Trochocyathus calcitrapa, 

 Sphenotrochus latus. 



and finally there is a far more detailed description of corals given by Mennig^). Of Zoan- 

 tharia he mentions: 



Dendrophyllia candelabrum Hng. 

 Lobopsammia faxensis Bech. 



Both these species were known earlier, the first as Cladocora sp., the second as Ca- 

 ryophyllia faxensis Beck. Among the single corals he mentions: 



Parasmilia Lindstromi Hng.
