Extract

During a recent visit to Antigua, West Indies, Dr. C. T. Trechmann collected some fossils from the Middle Oligocene Antigua Formation, and a small but important series from the Seaforth Limestone at Seaforth. Both collections included corals. Dr. Trechmann has already published his results (1941); it is the object of the present paper to deal with the corals, and especially with those from the Seaforth Limestone, because of the conclusive evidence they afford of the age of that formation.
