Abstract
Aulophyllum occurs in the higher horizons (the Dibunophyllum Zone) of the Lower Carboniferous of Great Britain, and is particularly abundant in Scotland and the North of England. Mr. J. A. Douglas has recorded ‘ Cyclophyllum sp.’ from the Carboniferous Limestone (D) of County Clare (Ireland), and Dr. A. Vaughan ‘Cyclophylla’ from the equivalent horizon at Visé (Belgium); while Kunth reported its occurrence at Hausdorf, near Glatz, on the south-western border of Silesia. Mr. R. G. Carruthers has described a specimen from Novaya Zemlya, which proved its existence at as high a latitude as 70° 49′ N. Dr. G. H. Girty, on the other hand, believes that the genus has not been recorded from the United States. The corals studied were partly collected by myself, but for a large portion of the material I am indebted to the generosity of Mr. John Bishop, Mr. R. G. Carruthers, Mr. John Dunn, Prof. E. J. Garwood, Dr. W. T. Gordon, Mr. Leonard Gill, Mr. Thomas Herdman, Dr. Wheelton Hind, Mr. W. B. R. King, Dr. F. L. Kitchin, Mr. A. F. Sandys, Dr. T. F. Sibly, Mr. C. T. Trechmann, Dr. Arthur Vaughan, Mr. F. H. Walker, Mr. Geoffrey Weyman, and Dr. Albert Wilmore. The preparation of material, its examination, and the literary research have been carried out at the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge; and I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to Prof. T. McKenny Hughes, F.R.S., for these privileges and for the kindly interest that he has shown in my work. My
