o r t h i s and Hebertella. The upper Siluric genera M i m u 1 u s and 

 Streptis are absent. 



Strophomena has not been perpetuated beyond the Siluric. 



Plectambonites disappears in the Niagaran-.

This statement of the affinities of the various generic elements of 

 the Helderbergian fauna is more graphically represented as below. 

 The direction of the dashes indicates either (forward) Devonic or 

 (backward) Siluric affinity.
