ARCHEOPORA PUNCTATA Eichwald. Text fig. 216. Archeopora punctata Eichwald, Lethsea Rossica, vol. 1, 1860, , , fig. 19. The description of this species includes more details than that of any other of the various Ordovician forms referred to the genus, and it is possible that the new species, Favositella punctata, described in this volume, is based upon the same form. For this reason I have selected the same name for the supposed new species of Favositella and have indicated its possible identity with Archeopora punctata in the synonymy. Eichwald describes Archeopora punctata as a thin, rounded, lamellar expan- sion, with thick-walled, oval cells radiately arranged. One end of the cell is higher than the other [lunarium], and ten rows of cells occur in the space of a line. Eichwald's figure also bears a resemblance to those of the Favositella, but in spite of these several facts one can not be certain of the identity of A. punctata until the type or authentic specimens are restudied. Occurrence.—Archeopora punctata was recorded from the Ordovician (Orthoceratite) limestone along the Dolgaja River, Gdow district,.
