Abstract
The published records of the occurrence of the Devonshire Cup CoralCaryophyllia smithiiStokes and Broderip in Scottish waters are widely scattered throughout the literature. Rees (1962, 1966) listed several of these and suggested that the paucity of records was a reflexion of the comparatively little systematic collecting that had been done on the Scottish coasts and on the continental shelf.The purpose of the present paper is to collate and review the published records of the distribution ofC. smithiiand to present new data derived from extensive investigations carried out by the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Wormley, as part of a study of shelly faunas and sediments on the continental shelf west and north of Scotland. Additional records obtained from several other sources are also included.
