new species. Ann. N. H. (5) xi. p. 250. 
The coral fauna of Ceylon differs from that of the rest of the Indian 
Ocean in having 1 peculiar species of Cceloria , 1 of Pavonia , and 1 of 
A Icyonium , the nearest allies of the 2 latter being found in the Pacific 
Ocean. There are 48 or 49 species of corals, of which 4 are not known 
to occur elsewhere.

A letter in which the writer describes a series of thin perforated 
tabulae in the outer portion of the tubes of the corallites. The per- 
foration of the tabulae is reniform or roundly crescentic. Tabulae are 
numerous, 5-8 in each corallite. He proposes the new subgeneric name 
Tabulipora for it.
