Work on your 1962 collection (my report A-63-8) prompted a review of your earlier collections from the same general area. I reexamined all material that had been identified as belonging to Spongophyllum or Hexagonaria or which might belong to any of the rugose coral species or genera identified in the recent collections. I found only two modifications to make of an earlier report.
