tion to size of the calices, composed of fascicles with additions from the 

 septal ends. Dimensions : greater transverse diameter of calices, about 

 19 mm. ; lesser transverse diameter of calices, 13 mm. ; altitude of 

 corallites, approximately 17 mm. 



Occurrence. — Middle Fernando, Pliocene, Guadalupe, Santa Bar- 

 bara County, California.

 Plate 5, figures la, lb, lc 

 Type, no. 11323, in Univ. Calif. Coll. Invert. Palae., from ocean beach near 

 Newport, Oregon. Material purchased from John Lumis, Ashland, Oregon. 



Corallum a water-worn pebble largely replaced by chalcedonic 

 quartz ; upper surface of corallites not present, but internal structure 

 remarkably well preserved. Corallites small, 1.25 to 1.50 mm. in 

 diameter, long and comparatively straight, usually circular but some- 

 times subcircular in outline, surrounded by a large proportion of very 

 cellular exotheca. Wall thin with distinct but not numerous perfora- 

 tions, dictinctly marked off from surrounding exotheca. Septa twelve, 

 short and thick, extending uniformly throughout the length of coral- 

 lites in two cycles of which the primary is much more prominent, a 

 third cycle of septa represented by costules ; along the inner margin of 

 the first cycle of septa nodes occurring at regular intervals project on 

 the sides and inward, giving a dentate appearance ; where these are 

 cut in cross-section pali seem to be present on the inner ends of the 

 primaries; interseptal loculi wide, thin tabulae well-developed, .75 to 

 1 mm. apart; spaces between the tabulae open. Columella absent. 

 Dimensions of corallites: diameter from .8 mm. to 1.1 mm. ; length not 

 known. 



Occurrence. — On ocean beach near Newport, Oregon. Probably 

 from the Tertiary deposits in that vicinity.

Corallum short, subflabellat<\ elliptical in cross-section, base sub- 

 acute with attachment scar visible ; calicular fossa deep ; wall thin and 

 fragile. Costae prominent, sharp, coarsely granular, corresponding 

 to all the septa ; those corresponding to the twelve principal septa much
