Abstract/NotesDuring the interval of ten years which has elapsed since my paper on Liassic Madreporaria was read at one of the meetings of the Geological Society, a great many specimens of Liassic Isastrææ and Septastrææ, chiefly from the Vale of Evesham, have come into my hands, and with this abundance of material I have examined a new the several species, and have arrived at the results contained in the present communication. When making these examinations, I have been invariably struck with the absence of a distinct and well defined basal wall and epitheca. Further observation also showed that these Liassic forms differed from other Isastrææ in having occasional elongated calices, like those of Latimæandra.
