TOMES : MESOZOIC CORALS OF THE COUNTY OF YORK. 
Professor Phillips also figured without any description a coral 
from the Speeton Clay, to which he gave the name of Caryophyllia 
conulus. 
In 1848^ McCoy described a coral in the collection of the 
University of Cambridge by the name of Dentipora glomerata, 
from the Coralline Oolite of Malton, where it was said to be 
common. 
Professor Duncan, in the Supplement to the History of 
British Fossil Corals,! added two species to the Oolitic coral 
fauna of Yorkshire from specimens which were in the collection 
of Mrs. Leckenby, of Scarborough, to which he gave the name of 
Gonioseris angulata and G. Leckenhyi, both of which had been 
obtained from the Millepore bed of the Inferior Oolite at Claughton 
Wyke. 
The Rev. J. F. Blake, at page 447 of the "Yorkshire Lias," 
mentions four species of corals, to which I shall refer. 
An addition was made by me in 1888, when I described 
and figured a species under the name of Latimceandraria decorata, I 
which I had received from Mr. Bean, of Scarborough. 
In the catalogue of type specimens in the "VVoodwardian 
Museum, Cambridge, dated 1891, Stylina tuhulifera, from the 
Coral Rag of Malton, is mentioned as the type of Dentipora 
glomerata of McCoy, so named in 1848. 
Finally, the present writer, in a recent communication to the 
Geological Magazine,§ indicated the presence of three species of 
corals in the Speeton Clay. 
Having now given an outline of the literature relating to 
the Yorkshire Mesozoic Madreporaria, I will proceed to a critical 
consideration of such species as I have had the opportunity of
