The presence of so little of the coralliim renders specific identification 
difficult — indeed, almost impossilfie — hut it may ho pointed out that the 
ahsence of radiciform processes, and the general appearance of the vesicles, 
would indicate Miclielinia tenuisepta, Phillips^, as its nearest ally. 
Locality and Horizon . — Carrol, near Somerton, Co. Buchland (J9. A. 
Lor ter-) : — Horizon doubtful, hut prohahly Upper Marine Series. 
Family— S YBING OP OBIPAE. 
Ohs . — The second family of the Perforata, of which we have any 
record, is the Syringoporidse, hut unfortunately the Collection does not at 
present contain examples. The late Prof. He Koninck descrilied two species — 
Syrinyopora reticulata, Goldfuss®, from the Tipper Marine Group of Muree, 
near Paymond Terrace, Hunter Histrict ; and S. ranmlosa, Goldfuss^, from 
the Lower Carhoniferous rocks of Burragood, Paterson lliver. Both specimens 
formed a portion of the Bev. W. B. Clarke’s Collection, and were destroyed 
in the Garden Palace fire. The figure of the first-named has very much the 
appearance of an irregularly-grown, openly fenestrate Fenestella seen from 
the reverse side. That of the second sj)ecies closely rcscmhles the impression 
of some of our Protoreteporce.

at the base, by one or more isolated points of attachment ; composed of thick 
conical corallites, suddenly dilating at regular distances into cup-shaped
