Abstract
The types of outer wall structure in regular archaeocyathids can be grouped into six classes: a) walls with simple pores; b) walls with additional formations around the pore apertures; c) walls with knee-shaped curvature of the pore canals; d) walls with an additional porous sheath; e) reticulate walls; and f) walls with branching pore canals. Examples of each class are described with figures. Forms with simple walls predominate in older archaeocyathid-bearing strata, and forms with complex outer wall structure predominate in younger strata. The significance of the observations of outer wall structure in the systematics of the archaeocyathids is discussed and one new genus and two new species of forms with unusual wall structure are described. --A. R. Palmer.
