 from this are, however, found in the Devonian of both the 

 Old and New Worlds ; so that the species had a very wide

range both in space and in time : and there are various other 

 Silurian and Devonian forms of Favosites which, as before said, 

 appear to be nothing more than variations of this type-form. 

 Having had the opportunity of making a careful examination, 

 microscopic and macroscopic, of a very extensive series of such 

 forms, collected from the Silurian and Devonian deposits of 

 both America and Europe, I shall in what follows briefly 

 record the results of my researches as bearing upon the 

 structural characters of the species.
