256 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. 



This species differs from P. conferta 1 by its calices being much smaller and more 

 closely set. 



Mr. J. Hall has lately described, under the name of Heliolites, 2 some fossils that 

 appear to be referable to the above-described species. They were found in the limestone 

 of Niagara and Lockport.
