1873..
DUNCAN CARYOPHYLLIA BREDAI.

Oxus, there must have been a time before Central Asia was highly
civilized, when the river ran freely through the country unconfined
by artificial means ; and he thought it possible that at that time its
lower part afforded an outlet from the sea of Aral to the Caspian.
With a greater rainfall he thought the water of the sea of Aral
would find its way along the old course of the Oxus into the Cas-
pian Sea.
2. On Caryophyllia Bredai, Milne-Edwards & Jules Haime, from
the Red Crag of Woodbridge. By P. Martin" Duncan, M.B.,
F.R.S., V.P.G.S., &c.
A specimen of a simple coral has recently been discovered by E.
Charlesworth, Esq., F.G.S., in the Red Crag of the Woodbridge
district of Suffolk. The form is interesting from its mineral consti-
tution as well as from its adding another species to the coral-fauna
of the Crag.
MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime described one of the
Caryophyllia. of the Maestricht Upper Chalk in their ' Histoire Na-
turelle des Coralliaires,' vol. ii. page 18, as follows: — The corallum
is elongate and much curved ; the wall is almost smooth, and is
marked with some horizontal ridges ; the columella is slightly deve-
loped, and sometimes is reduced to a solitary process. There are

four complete cycles of septa, in six systems. The septa of the last
cycle are very small ; the primaries are thick at their inner end, are
larger than the secondaries ; and the tertiarics are thin. All are
covered with large and projecting granulations. The pali are
situated before the secondary septa, and are narrow as well as
flexuous.
The newly discovered form appears to be a variety of this Upper
Cretaceous species. It differs from the type in being curved at the
base and then subturbinatc. Moreover the pali are irregularly

placed, although the septal number is complete ; they are in one

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
