This fossil is retained among the Favosites, because it possesses connecting lateral foramina ; 

 and because it does not consist, in the specimens which have been examined, of concentric, 

 encrusting layers of short tubes, the essential character, according to Lamarck, of the genus 

 Alveolites. 



The specimen f. 8. is in the collection of Mr. Goodhall ; and that represented in f. 8 c. is in 

 the collection of Mr. Bowerbank. The former is from Benthall Edge, the latter from Wenlock. 



The fossil figured by Goldfuss, Taf. XLIV. f. 10., and assigned to this species, is common in 

 the slabs of limestone at Dudley, (see PI. 15 bis. f. 9, 9 a, 9b.) 



Formation and localities in England. Wenlock Limestone, Benthall Edge, Lindells, 

 near Fownhope.

Alveolites reticulata, De Blainville, Man. d'Actinologie, p. 404, 1834. 



Goldfuss in his description of Calamopora (Favosites) spongites, says, that it is probably a 

 variety of C.polymorpha (p. 81.). It is, therefore, considered as such in this list ; and by in- 

 cluding it in that species, all the fossils having this peculiar branched form are brought together, 

 and separated from F. spongites, var. a. (Goldfuss), which thus becomes the type of a well- 

 defined distinct species.

1 Fischer's genus Harmodites is of anterior date to Goldfuss's genus Syringopora ; but the latter having been 

 adopted by naturalists, it is retained in this list.
