This species, the Caryophyllia cyat/ms, has been found not only in the Mediter- ranean, but also at the Azores. Another species, the C. davus, has a wide distribution, occurring in deep water in the Florida straits and off the British coasts as well as m the Mediterranean. Another example of this tribe, as defined by Professor Verrill, is the species of Astrangia occurring alive along the southern shores of New England, and on the coast of New Jersey. Specimens are not uncommon in the vicinity of New Haven, on the rocks by the Light-House, and at other places in Long Island Sound, and when alive it is an exceedingly beautiful object. The accompanying figures of the animal are from the drawings made to illustrate a yet unpublished memoir by Professor Agassiz. They are copied from the "Sea-Side Studies" of Mrs. Agassiz and Alexander Agassiz. In figure.
