 base towards the aiwx; no caliele of any kind at the apex. Caliclti® 

 equally distributed all round Biem and brandies, with a tendency to au 

 arrangement in longitudinal scries. Septal system well developed, com- 

 prifiing two cycles of .sis septa each, two (approximately upper and lower) 

 pdmariea being larger thau the four lateral primaries. 



06*.— Anaeropora is Imsod on the new &f)ecies A. forbesi, described 

 below, and on some forms which occur in the Vhalkttger collection of 

 reef-corals, to l>e hereafter described by Mr. J, J. Quelch, of the Natiiral- 

 HiBtory Museum; I have had the advontaga of Prof. Duncan's and 5Ir. 

 Quelch'a opinions on this important formj, opinions which have been freely 

 and kindly given. The geneml growth and other characters given above 

 are essentially the same in all the fipecie& In all the growth is low, the 

 branches tending to form inosculations between cjick other ; the stem and 

 branches are cylindrical, aud no distinct tubular caUclea are formed. 



From Madrejiora tliis genus differs markedly in tho centrii»otal 

 production of the calicles, by which the yoiingest calicles are alwaj« the 

 uppermost. From the subgenus Isojwra, t^tud^ r {me loc. inf. dt.), it diftera 

 in the same ijoint, as well as in its slender deiidrold growth; hut the first 

 distinction is not bq marked at first sight, since the iwculiar gro^vth of 

 IsoiJora almost necessitates the absence of adidinci apical caliele, but {im
