270 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. 
From Wenlock, Benthall Edge, Gleedon Hill; Ardaun and Cong, Galway (M‘Coy). 
Specimens are in the Collections of the Museum of Paris, of the Museum of Practical 
Geology, of the Bristol Museum, of the Geological Society, of Mr. Fletcher, of Mr. J. 
Gray, Xe. 
This fossil was placed by Mr. Lonsdale in the genus Monticularia (Hydnophora), 
which it resembles im some of its exterior characters; but it differs most essentially, not 
only from Hydnophora, but also from all the other corals belonging to the large family of 
the Astraidz, by existence of its well-developed tabule, and rudimentary state of the septal 
apparatus. ‘This mode of structure is characteristic of the group of Favositide. It has 
great affinity with Cheetetes, but differs from that genus by the mode of termination of its 
walls, and constitutes, in our system of classification, a new generical division, which we 
have dedicated to our celebrated friend, Sir Henry de la Beche, to whom geology in 
general, and more especially the geology of England, is most deeply indebted.
