ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
pi. 7, Scilly Islands. — Mr. Alford describes a variety of this species. Ibid, 
p. 4^3. 
Edwardsia alhnanni and E. goodsiri, sp. n.^ M‘Intpsh (1. c. p. 394), wero 
found on the beach of St. Andrews after a storm ; the specific descriptions 
are not very detailed. Reicheubach has proposed the name Milnea for 
Edwardsia already in use by botanists. 
Ammonactis, g. n., Verrill (/. c. p. 195). Column elongated, subcylindri- 
cal, witli wcll-dcveh»ped basal disk, covered, as in Ehcllia, wiLli a persisteut 
epidermis extending to near the summit, naked above j but differs in having 
a lobe-like tubercle below each tentacle, distinct from the margin j tentacles 
long and numerous. Type A. (Edwardsia) ruhricollam (Stimp. sp.). 
Ehizoxenia albicolor, sp. n. Norman, 1. c. p. 84, mentions that Ehizoxenia 
was established by Ehrenberg in 1834, and hence has the precedence of 
Sarcodictgo)if Forbes. 
Ccsnocgathus adamsi, sp. n., Duncan, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1865, vol. xv. 
p. 274, and Astrcea (Heliastrcea) forhesi, sp. n., Duncan, 1. c. p. 274, both from 
Malta tertiaries. 
Duncan (1. c. vol. xiv.) describes the following new species : — Caryophyllia 
viola, Flabellum victorice (p. 102), F. gambieroise, Flacotrochus elongatus (p. 163), 
P. deltoideiis, Balamphyllia australiensis, and Trochoseris woodsi (p. 164). 
Conosmilia, g. n., Duncan (/. c. vol. xvi. p. 184). Coral simple, pedicellate, 
conical. Columella formed of one or more twisted laminje, which extend 
from the base upwards. Endotheca .scantily developed. Septa apparently 
with simple margins, and variable in regard to the number of the primary. 
Conosmilia elegans, sp. n., and C. anomala, sp. n., Duncan, 1. c. p. 184. 
Sphenotrochus australis, sp. n., Duncan, 1. c. p. 183 j S. emarciatus, sp. n., 
Dun. 1. c. p. 183 j Antiilia lens, sp. n.. Dun. 1. c. p. 185. 
Duncan (1. c. vol. xiii. p. 295) states that among the species of Coral common 
to the Scindian and European Eocene, and which have not been noticed by 
Ilaime, Trochocyathus sinuosus and Astroccenia caillatidi are the most remark- 
able. The new species described and figured very probably belong to more than 
one tertiary age ; but future collections must determine whether this is the 
case or not. The new Eocene species would appear to be Phyllocoenia con- 
ferta, MontUvaltia brevis, Hydnophora rudis, II. dance, II. plana, II. liemi- 
sphcerica, Trochoseris aperta^ Cyathoseris irregularis, and C. maynijiea. The 
Miocene are probably Dasyphyllia gemmans. Antiilia dentata, A. plana, A. 
ponderosa, Mycedium costatum, Agaricia ayaricites, and Porites incrustans. 
Oculina halensis, Cladocora haimei, Pachyseris rugosa, and Corallium palli- 
dum are either of a late Miocene age or of a still later geological epoch. 
The following are new species : — Oculina halensis (p. 298), Phylloccenia 
conferta (p. 298), Dasyphyllia gemmans (p. 299), Mo}dlivallia brevis (]). 300), 
Antiilia plana (p. 300), Cladocera haimei (p. 301), Hydnophora rudis and 
II. dance (p. 301) ; II. plana and II. hemisphcerica (p, 302 ) ; Trochoseris 
aperta (p. 303), Cyathoseris irregularis (p. 303), C. magnijica (p. 301), 
Mycedium costatum (p. 304). 
Joshua Aider (1. c.) records ten species of Actinozoa as found on the coasts 
of Northumberland and Durham. 
Ilyalonema lusitanica, sp. n., Docago, 1 . c. p. 268, found in deep water off
