Abstract/NotesAt the meeting of the British Association in Nottingham,inAugust of last year, a joint discussion on “Coral Reefs” was held by the sections of Zoology and Geology. Prof. Sollas,inopening the discussion, referred to the “ Dolomites of South Tyrol” as a country affording brilliant examples of Fossil Coral Reefs. He demonstrated this by sections taken from the wellknown work of Mojsisovics, and showed several photographs of some of the more imposing dolomite mountains—Schlern, Langkofl, and Sella—which had been explained as reefs of Triassic age. in the course of the discussion, Dr. Hickson said he believed there were no corals in these so-called fossil reefs. Dr. Rothpletz corrected this statement, saying briefly that there were corals in the dolomite and limestone rock, along with other groups of marine animals, but that many of the sections shown by Prof. Sollas were incorrect. Prof. Bonney emphasized the ample evidence of Coral life in many parts of the district which he had visited.
