DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Contributions to Palaeontology, Vol. 4 Corals, as is well known, form a large proportion of the fossils found in the Palaeozoic rocks of Canada. Unfortunately, however, the classification and nomenclature of these corals have long been in a state of some confusion. With a view to remedying this, Mr. Lambe has, at Mr. Whiteaves's suggestion, undertaken a revision of the genera and species. The present report on the Madreporaria Perforata and the Alcyonaria, with five plates, forms the first part of the fourth volume of "Contributions to Canadian Palaeontology." A second part, now in course of preparation and to be illustrated by thirteen plates, is intended to conclude the revision of this class so far as present material permits.
