Heliolites, var. With depressed areas at the 
cell mouths. 
Heliolites tubulata, Lonsd. (Siluria, 2nd ed. 
pl. 39, fig. 3), and Foss. 18, fig. 1. 
Heliolites Grayi, Milne Edw. (Brit. Foss. Cor. 
p. 252, t. 58, fig. 1, Archiv. Mus. v. p. 217). 
Flat branches; crateriform cells, raised edges. 
Heliolites, var. ? 
Heliolites ceespitosa, n.s. Salter. Something 
like H. Grayt, but cells approximate ; shal- 
low pits, not raised. 
Heliolites, sp. 
With sunk pores. 
Favosites (Calamopora, Goldfuss). A genus 
of Silurian and Devonian corals—more 
abundant here than any other. ‘The cells 
are thickly pierced with little round holes 
(foramina) often in two rows, but some- 
times more, by which a communication is 
kept up between neighbour corallites. Close- 
set tabule fill up the hexagonal tubes, and 
there are scarcely visible septa. 
Favosites, sp. Shewing the upper crowded 
tabulee. 
Favosites alveolaris, Goldf. (Petref. G. t. 26, 
fig. 1; Siluria, 2nd ed. Foss. 17, fig. 4). 
[I do not know how externally to distinguish 
this species from £. gothlandica, and I be- 
lieve the F. alveolaris, with large serrated 
angles to the tubes, to be very common in 
our Wenlock Rocks.] 
Favosites Gothlandica, Linn. (Goldf. Pet. Germ. 
t. 26, fig. 3; Siluria, 2nd ed. Foss. 17, figs. 2, 
3, pl. 40, figs. 3, 4, Foss. 29, fig. 6). One of 
the most beautiful of fossils. The honey- 
comb cells when perfect are radiated by six 
obtuse folds which represent septa. The 
sides of the tubes are pierced by a regular 
double row of holes, except in the next var.
