It is assumed that an (edge-to-edge) tiling by regular polygons has, under its symmetry group, v orbits of vertices, t orbits of tiles and e orbits of edges. In the terminology by \textit{B. Grünbaum} and \textit{G. C. Shephard} [Tilings and patterns (1987; Zbl 0601.05001)] such a tiling would be called ``v-isogonal'', ``t-isohedral'' and ``e-isotoxal'' respectively. In connection with a classification of tilings in his part I [Mitt. Math. Semin. Gießen 164, 37-50 (1984; Zbl 0584.05022)] the author gives (on 15 pages) drawings of these tilings: the three ``Platonic'' tilings \((t=1)\); the eight ``Archimedean'' tilings \((v=1\), \(t>1)\); the 20 2-isogonal tilings \((v=2)\); the 39 3-isogonal tilings \((v=3)\) which are vertex-homogeneous; the 22 3-isogonal tilings \((v=3)\) which are not vertex-homogeneous; 65 vertex-homogeneous tilings with \(v\geq 4\); the unique tile-homogeneous tiling which is not vertex- homogeneous; the seven tilings with \(t=3\) which are not included in the earlier cases.
