    In a preceding paper [Beitr. Algebra Geom. 46, No.~2, 545--558 (2005; Zbl 1094.52012)] the author determined the metric data and the density of the ball or horoball packings associated to the Coxeter tilings (honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space \(\mathbb{H}^{3}\), based on the projective model. In this work the analogous data for Coxeter tilings in \(\mathbb{H}^{4}\) and \(\mathbb{ H}^{5}\) are determined. (There are no such tilings in \(\mathbb{H}^{d}\) for \( d>5\).)
