The green colour of Anthea cereus is when concentrated emerald green, 
when diluted of a yellowish green colour. It is soluble in chloroform, 
benzin, alcohol, &c., and slightly in water. It has a rich and characteristic 
spectrum of four bands, which are unaltered by acetic acid but altered 
by solution of soda. It does not reduce COg under the influence of 
light.

This report is divided into three parts, of which Part i. deals with 
certain Hydroids and is recorded above. Part ii., on Helioporidce and its 
allies, mainly consists of the paper which was read before the Royal 
Society in 1876, and has been already recorded; it should be noticed, 
however, that the terms ‘autozooids’ and ‘ siphonozooids ’ are introduced 
in place of ‘polypes’ and‘zooids’ which are used in the dimorphic 
Alcyonarians. There is a new section on the tabular coenenchym of 
Heliopora and its homologies. In the section on the fossil allies of the 
Helioporidce^ the author expresses an opinion that the septa of Favosites 
are probably pseudo-septa, and he considers Heliolites to be a form 
intermediate between F.forhesi and Heliopora. Syrinyopora, considered 
to be allied to Tahipora and Syringolites, is shown to possess mural pores 
as in Favosites, and infundibular tabulae and even axial tubes. Of 
Part iii., on the deep-sea Madreporaria, there was a preliminary report 
in P. R. S. 1876. In addition to the description of many new species, 
there are accounts of the soft parts of Flabellum, Bathyactis, and 
Stephanophyllia formosissima.
