I have that specimen listed as USNM 1480849. The SUI number on the list I originally gave you was wrong - instead of 118574, it should have been 118578. I hope that's OK.

I have been out of town. In any event, this sounds like a good solution - I'll correct the list that I have. Note the correct spelling is Scolymia.

I am left with discrepancies as follows: Three specimens not found: NMNH SUI CCD station 1480891 Trachyphillia bilobata 106580 43224 NMN16828 No physical specimen found 1480897 Trachyphillia bilobata 4783 AB94-01 No physical specimen found 1480846 Scolinia cubensis 3538 AB93-71 No physical specimen found Two specimens found but not on the list: Trachyphillia bilobata 106446 43224 NMB16831 Scolinia cubensis 118578 6093 AB95-08-02 I would propose using two NMNH#s [1480891 and 1480846] for the specimens I have and recycling 1480897 for other specimens. Finally, I noticed the prior excel file I sent with the NMNH catalogue numbers has an error in the NMNH numbers. Somehow I entered an extraneous “7” in the 3rd place of each number [i.e. 14780913 in the original list should be 1480913]. I have revised the spreadsheet and attached the corrected version. My apologies for this error. Let me know if you have any questions.

The reference where Mycetophyllia lamarkiana was first described is: Milne Edwards H., & Haime J. 1849. Recherches sur les polypiers. Quatrième mémoire. Monographie des astréides (1). Tribu II. Astréens (Astreinae). Annales des sciences naturelles, série 3, Zoologie, 11, page 258. But the figure is in: Milne Edwards H., & Haime J. 1848. Recherches sur les polypiers. Quatrième mémoire. Monographie des astréides (1). Tribu II. Astréens (Astreinae). Annales des sciences naturelles, série 3, Zoologie, 10, pl..8, fig.6. I've always interpreted that to mean Mycetophyllia lamarckiana was first described in 1849 because there is no text to accompany the 1848 figure. These two volumes are part of a series of papers published between 1848 and 1851, entitled "Recherches sur les polypiers.". With regard to Scolymia cubensis, it was first described in the same publication as the text for Mycetophyllia lamarckiana. On page 238. No figure. So it too is 1849. My dates for these volumes are based on the Biodiversity Heritage Library. Hope this makes sense, Nancy P.S. For Tracyphyllia bilobata, the Duncan reference is 1864 according to the Biodiversity Heritage Library; Duncan, P. M. 1864. On the fossil corals of the West Indian Islands. Part 2. Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 20, page 31, pl.3, fig.3.

I've just double-checked the original literature and it should be: Trachyphyllia bilobata (Duncan, 1864) Mycetophyllia lamarckiana Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849 Mycetophyllia bullbrooki Vaughan in Vaughan & Hoffmeister, 1926 Scolymia cubensis (Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849) A list of the new localities would be great - I can fill in the missing information and return it to you. I could also look over the inconsistent locality information and make sure it's consistent. Many many thanks for all of your efforts, keep your questions coming - I would like to make sure there are as few errors (and inconsistencies) as possible, Nancy On Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 2:07 PM, Kamasky, Thomas > wrote: Nancy, I am working on the catalog entries for your study.

I note that several of your localities are new to us and only show the locality #, island and formation. If you would like to include more location data (precise location, lat./long, collector, date collected, etc.) I can forward a list of these new localities. Finally, I note several of your localities are already in our system with additional location and collector data (often in multiple variations). I can prepare a list with the existing locations and the variations of data for your perusal so that we can combine the location descriptions for consistency. Let me know if you are interested in these last two items.

Antillophyllia sawkinsi will be changed to Antillophyliia lonsdaleia Isophyllastrea has been changed to Isophyllia (I think you are aware) Isophyllia sp.A will be changed to Isophyllia maoensis n.sp.
