Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...specimen. Auau Channel, between Maui and Lanai islands: Station 3876; depth, 28-43 fathoms; bottom, sand, gravel; temperature, 74 F.; 3 specimens, 2 of which have a considerable number of young attached to their bases. Northeast coast of Hawaii Island: Station 4053; depth, 26-29 fathoms; bottom, fine, gray sand; 1 dead specimen with unusually large calices, and 2 broken young specimens. Station 4054; depth, 26-50 fathoms; bottom, coarse coral sand and corallines; 1 young specimen. The conditions of life most favorable to this species are a depth of water between 26 and 40 or 50 fathoms, a temperature a little over 70 F., and a clean, sandy or pebbly bottom. Types.--Three specimens and attached young, Station 3876, Cat. No. 20885, U.S.N.M., and 1 specimen, Station 3823, Cat. No. 20886, U.S.N.M. Remarks.--This species is to be differentiated from L. hawaiieiisis chiefly by the rougher margins and the very perforate character of its septo-costa?. LEPTOSERIS DIGITATA, new species. Plate XLII, figs. 1, 2. Corallum small, digitiform. The young corallum possesses a single calice, and is inversely conical in shape. The margin of the uni-caliculate corallum becomes lobate, each lobe having a width of about 3 mm. As these lobes grow they become secondarih' lobed and crispate, the inner surfaces concave, the outer convex. The first formed lobes in the larger specimens may be as much as 2 mm. or a little more in thickness, but are very thin and fragile at the edge. Measurements. Calices unifacial. The primitive calice of the colony has already been mentioned; the subsequent calices are usually solitary, as the lobes are narrow, but two may occur alongside one another at the same level. The distance between the calices along a face varies from 2 to 5 mm. The lower ...
