The material before us, 45 specimens, display considerable variation that we refer under separate<br />
facies .<br />
Facies I. As rep resentative PW 73566. Submassive, base narrower than top, epitheca present. Calices<br />
oval or distorted, 10 to 12 mm long, 8 to 10 mm wide, 6 to 7 mm deep. Intercorallite walls 4 to 6 mm<br />
thick. Corallite wall not elevated. Septa 40 to 50 , thin, sloping, 0.5 mm exsert. 15 to 18 septa reach the<br />
col umella, others turn towards adjacent major septa. Septal edges with 10 to 15 close-setdenticles. Costae<br />
correspond to septa, stop at the middle of the intercorallite wall ; teeth close-set and similar to those of<br />
septa. The corallum has a spiny look due to the narrow septal and costal serration. This facies is si milar<br />
to MARENZELLER 'S Favia savignyi.<br />
Facies II. Representative NS 8417 . The growth form and size of calices similar to facies I, but t he<br />
intercorallite walls are 2 to 3 mm thick only. The thecal wall project to 1 mOl . Major septa up to 1 mm<br />
exsert.<br />
Facies Ill. Representative X2: 13 - 5. Massive. Corallites polygonal, 10 to 15 mm long, 8 to 10 mm<br />
broad, up to 10 mm deep. Wall fused , 1 to 1.5 mm thick, interrupted at places. Septa of equal width<br />
from top to bottom. Major septa exsert to 1 mm . Differs from the other two facies in the fused wall<br />
and deeper calices.<br />
Facies IV . Representative RM 82 . Massive. Calices oval or elongated, 8 to 10 mm long,S to 8 mm<br />
broad, 4 to 5 mm deep. Wall fused . Thecal wall not elevated . Total sep ta 30 to 40. Major septa 0.5 mm<br />
exsert. Paliform lobes visible as in all other specimens. The calices are smaller and shallower than in any<br />
of the above facies mentioned.
