Genus favosites Lamarck [Ety.: favns, honeycomb] (1816. Hist, des anim. sans vert. 2 1204) Corallum massive, more rarely branching, commonly forming heads which may be a foot or more in diameter. Corallites pris- matic, thin, in contact but not amalgamated by their walls, which are perforated by equidistant mural pores in one or more rows. Septa rudimentary or obsolete. Numerous more or less regular tabulae divide the intrathecal space. Peritheca present on the under side of the colony, and usually strongly wrinkled. Favosites venustus (Hall)1 (Fig. 34). Astrocerium venus- tum Hall (1852. Pal. N. Y. 2:120, pi. 34) Distinguishing characters. Hemispheric or spheroidal form, be- ginning growth on other bodies; small corallites increasing in num- ber by interstitial addition; 12 ascending septal spines between tabulae; corallites from .9 to 1 mm in diameter; heads often up to- 2 or 3 feet in diameter. 1These species are regarded by Whiteaves and Lambe as synonyms of Favosites hisingeri E. and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences.
