Abstract
Very recently an interesting fossil coral now forming the subject of this note was collected by Mr. S. ENDÔ of our Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Sendai, from Marukyoku on the eastern coast of Babeldaod, the main island of the Palau Islands. According to him, it is from one of the limestone patches in an agglomerate which is thought to belong to the Babeldaob agglomerte of Mr. R. TAYAMA this Babeldaob agglomerate likewise contains at its type locality patches of limestone in which Pellatispira and several other foraminifera are found. On the fossil evidence, the Babeldaob agglomerate is believed to ba Upper Eocene in age; if the agglomerate of Marukyoku is proved really to be a member of the Babeldaob agglomerate, then the fossil coral now in question should be refered to the same geological age.
