Mr. J. V. Harrison has entrusted me with the description of some fossil corals which be has recently collected in Trinidad. They include one remarkable coral which at first sight appeared to be Paleozoic, as its branches had a laminar structure resembling specimens of the Devonian Pachypora cervicornis in which the section has cut bands of corallites at different angles. Examination with a lens at once showed that the coral was septate, and that the resemblance to Pachypora was delusive.
