Ohs . — The late Prof, de Koniuck described one doubtful species of 
Zaphrentis as Z. Fhillipsi, Ed. and II./ and a Lophophyllum, L. minutum^- 
wbicb have not come under my notice. The Zaphrentis may possibly be 
identical with a sj)ecies I have later on called Z. Oulleni. 
As Stromhodes ? australis, Prof. M‘Coy described^ a coral in 1847 
having some j)oints in common with genera placed in this family. He says 
it is Avitboiit transverse cbamljers (? tal)ula3), and the septa twisted about the 
centre are grouped in irregular bundles. The appearance presented by bis 
figure is certainly that of a Zapbrentoid coral, and this is borne out by the 
grouping of the septa, l)iit the twisting of the latter, unless it be in a loose 
and irregular manner, and the absence of tabulre do not assist in bearing out 
this supposition. Tbrougb some unaccountable error I formerly referred^ tliis 
coral to Lonsdaleia, a mistake I now wish to correct.

Ohs . — It will be shown below that the fossil usually known under the 
name of Amplexus arundmaceus, Lonsd., docs not appertain to that genus, 
but a small and apparently undoubted species does exist in our Carboniferous 
Series (PI. IX, Pig. 10). The sjjecimcn is unfortunately too imperfect for
