There were no dissepiments. 



No account can be given of the central parts of the coral. Judging by the appearance 

 of the stone kernels there was a true fasciculate Columella at the base of the coral. 

 Whether pali were found and, if so, of what kind, is unknown. 



In spite of insufficient data about important parts of the coral, I do not hesitate to 

 place it in the Trochocyathus genus on account of its external resemblance to certain French 

 and American corals belonging to that group, — for instance T. apliensis, Fromentel, and 

 2\ Hijatti Vaughan.

In the coral chalk at Faxe may be found some stone kernels of a single coral which 

 has left no impressions so that it is impossible to describe its outward appearance. The 

 stone kernels, however, are very characteristic and easily recognizable, so I have ventured to 

 determine them. 



Only small stone kernels are found, the largest specimen known measures 8 mm in 

 height with a diameter of 8 mm at the edge of the calyx. It is regular, obovate-conical in 

 form, somewhat truncated towards the bottom. 



The stone kernel shows traces of 48 septa, 5 ordines of 4 complete cycles. A true colu- 

 mella has developed from the base causing characteristic grooves in the stone kernel. 



A cross-cut downward from the edge of the calyx shows that the septa soon reached 

 the center. The calyx was shallow. Septa of the first, second and in part of the third ordo 

 were large, whereas the others only grew out a short distance from the edge of the calyx. 

 Remains of 6 pali which penetrated far into the calyx were found, and a probable fasci- 

 culate columella (table II, fig. 18). 



Based on these data it seemed right to determine the species as belonging to the Brachy- 

 cyathus genus, in spite of the fact that information about the epithecum is lacking.

13. Caryophyllia danica, n. sp. 



Table II. Figs. 19—20. 



In the coral chalk at Faxe single specimens of a Caryophyllia are found. 



This coral is about 14 mm long; at the edge of the calyx, which is oval, it is 10 mm at 

 the greatest, and 8 mm at the smallest diameter. 



The form is obovate-conical. The pointed end is broken ofi so that its mode of adhesion 

 cannot be determined. 



The theca is smooth with no protuberances and no epithecum. The costae are arranged 

 in longitudinal, slightly granular rows. The calyx is rather shallow. There are about 48 

 septa, 4 cycles in 5 ordines. The first 2 ordines show equal development and are large, the
