Abstract
AT a meeting of the Royal Irish Academy held on May 8, 1933, I proposed the name Stratiphyllum (as Stratophyllum) for a Carboniferous tabulate coral from Tournai, Belgium. The name was not published until September 8 of that year1. Dr. Stanley Smith has directed my attention to the fact that in the meantime Dr. Walther Scheffen had published the same generic name for some Silurian rugose corals from Norway2.
