Corallum ramose ; its branches slender (in general not more than two lines in diameter) 
and frequently coalescent. Calices rather closely set, somewhat broader than high; their 
exterior margin presenting a medial fissure, on each side of which is a small denticulation 
of unequal size. Breadth of the calice about one fifth of a line. 
From the upper Silurian rocks of Dudley and Wenlock. Sir R. Murchison has also 
found it at Lincoln Hill, Coalbrook Dale, Benthall Edge, Hurst Hill, and Sedgley. It is 
also met with in Gothland; and in North America, where Mr. Hall has recently found it 
at Lockport. 
Specimens in the Collections of Mr. Fletcher, of the Paris Museum, &c. 
Alveolites vermicularis! much resembles this species, but its branches are much thicker, 
and the angle formed by the bifurcation of its branches is much more open; the outer 
margin of the calices is also more prominent than in A. repens.
