the columella; tertiary and quaternary are united to the first two 

 cycles. The septa of the fifth cycle are free and very short. Calicular 

 margin and lateral faces of septa granulated. Columella weak. 

 Measurements of the type, which is a rather small specimen, were as 

 follows: Diameter, 7.8mm.; height of corallum, 2.7mm. 



Occurrence in the Tejon group at University of California locali- 

 ties 692, 716, 719. 734. 



DENDROPHYLLIA HANNIBALI, n. sp. 



Plate 6, figures 1, 2, 3 



Type in palaeontological collections of Stanford University, from locality 

 NP15, near log dam, Porter Creek, Chehalis County, Washington. 



Colony branching, forming several vertical series which unite when 

 coming in contact. Calices deep, nearly round, projecting only slightly 

 above surface, apparently arranged in nearly vertical series, about 

 5 mm. in diameter. Costae distinct, vermicular, granulated, covering 

 the whole surface. Intercostal furrows narrow, perforate. Wall thick, 

 porous but rather dense. Septa about 42-48, thin and fragile near 

 calice, granulated, in four cycles having arrangement characteristic of 

 the genus. Columella weak. 



Occurrence at Stanford University locality NP15, middle Oligocene. 



It is deemed advisable to incorporate a description of this species 

 in the present paper, although it properly does not belong to the 

 California province. 



DENDROPHYLLIA TEJONENSIS, n. sp. 



Plate 4, figures 1, 5 



Type from University of California Department of Palaeontology collections, 

 from locality 458, on west side of Grapevine Creek, four and one-half miles 

 S 6° W of 1085 B.M., Tejon Quadrangle, California. 



Corallum branched, transverse section of corallites elliptical. Costae 

 prominent, perforate, slightly granulate, arranged longitudinally. 

 Intercostal furrows rather wide and have numerous pores. Wall thick, 

 appears to be strengthened by synapticula arranged adjacent to it. 

 Septa numerous, thin, perforate, lateral faces granulate, arranged in 

 five cycles. Columella, not very strong, open spongy. Greater trans- 

 verse diameter of corallite, 8.5 mm. ; lesser transverse diameter, 6.4 mm. 



Occurrence near middle of type Tejon section, from University of 

 California locality 458, Eocene.
