The poriferous nature of the walls clearly indicates this as a member of the 
Fayositidse, although it is quite possible that it may be referable to a genus other than 
Striatopora. 
A similar septal tooth occurs in a French Deyonian fossil, Trachppora marmorea, 
Gosselet.*

Eomingeria ? Fooedi, sp. nov., PI. 1, fig. 18. 
Sp. Char. Corallum ramose. Corallites small, tubular, their outlines faintly 
indicated on the surface of the branches. Calices oyal or circular, exsert or slightly 
disjunct, sub-opposite, sometimes contiguous, and almost touching one another. 
Ohs. It is quite an open question whether this coral should be placed in 
Rominqeria or Vermipora, but probably in one or the other, notwithstanding its ramose 
character. Although the surface is much weathered, the tubular outline of the corallites 
is dimly portrayed on the branches, and this would to some extent ally it to the still 
more diyided-up corallum of one or other of the aboye genera. At the broken distal 
end of the specimen the tubular state of the corallites is quite apparent. 
The surface is too much weathered to sho\y the annulations described by Prof. 
Nicholson in his genus, eyen if they existed, and, from the same cause in all probability, 
septa are not yisible. 
Named in honour of Mr. A. H. Foord, late of the Geological Surrey of Canada, 
with whom the Writer has been engaged in palseontological inrestigation.

Ohs. Cosnites is represented by a few ramose or frondescent specimens, with the 
general aspect of Ccenites expansus, De Koninck (PI. 2, figs. ] 8 and 19), the mouths of the 
calices corresponding in size and shape, but there are usually present three instead of two 
septal teeth . The specimens are not sufficiently well presery ed for accurate determination .

Gen. Char. Corallum massiye, resembling that of Favosites, of polygonal 
corallites, which radiate outwards from an imaginary axis to open upon the upper 
surface of the colony. Under surface coyered with an epitheca (?). The corallites are 
firmly united by their walls, which are extensiyely pierced by apertures, placing the 
yisceral tubes in direct communication. Septa trabecular, often irregularly diyided or 
anastomosing at their free ends. Tabul® rudimentary, represented by occasional 
horizontal trabeculse. No columella nor coenenchyma. (^Nicholson and Ftheridge jil.) 
Ohs. This genus was founded upon a single remarkable specimen belonging to 
the Daintree Collection, from the Deyonian deposits of Queensland, distinguished 
specifically by the name of Arceopora australis.
