143 Calaxea from Maldives under the specific name hexagonalis. One of GARD INER 's specimens is o. 1927 . 5. 12.220 in BM H. It is represented by iso lated corallites. It shows no noteworthy variation from other specimens labelled C. fascicularis. The hexagonal nature of the corallites, which MILNE EDWARDS and HAIME stressed, is not evident in the Maldivian spec imens. The type of C. bexagonalis MILN E EDWARDS & HAIM E from the Philippines is rep orted to be lost. It is very likely that hexago nalis is based on form resembl ing C. irregularis of KL UNZ INGER (= C. lawisiana of NEMENZO ). No figure of C. bexagonalis is in existence. After CROSSLAND (1941: 52 ) FORSKAL'S two type specimens of Madrepora divergens(and also M. organum ) are semifossi l specimens and belong to C. fascicularis.

KLU ZINGER (1879) listed this species from Red Sea on the authority of LAMARCK , but neither he himself nor EHRENBERG had any materia l co llected . This species is also not found in the present collection nor appears to have been collected by any other worker from Red Sea. According to MAITHAI (1914) the species has corallites 2 to 3 mm in diameter , 2 to 4 mm apart, projecting to a maximum of 2 mm , of eq ual thickness from top to bottom . Perithecal vesicles large , about 2 mm in dia meter. Septa in three cycles, but the third cycle is generally incomplete. Primaries larger, exsert , invariably reach the columella , sometimes along with a few of the second cycle. Costae not con SpiCUOUS. Di s t rib uti 0 n : Red Sea ; Saya de Malha ; Chagos; Maldives; ew Caledonia (CHEVALIER, 197 1). Rem ark s : The type of C. aSlTeala (LAMARCK ) is figured by CHEVALI ER (1971 , pI. 3, fig. 5) and he has adopted, after having located LMIARCK's type , the specific name aslreala instead of lamarcki of MIL E EDWARDS and HAIM E and later of MAITHAI (1914). Additional r e m ark s to another genus of fam ily Oculinidae: Genus Acrhelia MILNE EDWARDS and HAIM E, 1849 CROSSLAND (1939: 24) wrote: " For the prese nt it can be said that the only genera with which I was fa miliar in Dongonab (Lat. 21 ° N.) which I do not find near Ghardaqa (Lat. 27° 17'N .) are Acrohelia and Euphyllia". This is the only reference to Acrbelia, no one else has found or mentioned this genus from the Red Sea .
