Montipora caliculata (Dana) Bernard.

1897. Montipora caliculata Bernard, Cat. Genus Montipora, p. 57, pl. 9; pl. 32, fig. 14.

The specimen agrees in all particulars with Bernard's description and figures of M. caliculata except that the secondary septa although uniformly well developed are distinctly smaller than the primaries. Dana's type of M. caliculata should be in the U.S. National Museum (No. 335), but I have failed to find it.

Locality.—Meyer Island: on rock; depth, 1 fathom.
