Corallum dendroid; its branches cylindrical, somewhat flexuous, scarcely ever 
coalescent. Calices closely set, not prominent, much elongated transversely, or even 
almost linear. The upper margin concave, and presenting a small medial process. The 
under edge deeply emarginated in the middle, and presenting a small obtuse process on 
each side. Ccenenchyma not very abundant. Diameter of the branches about 2 lines ; 
large diameter of the calices about two fifths of a line; and about four times their diameter 
in the opposite direction. 
Dudley and Russia. Mr. Hall mentions its existence at Lockport, Niagara county. 
Specimens are in the Collections of Mr. Fletcher and M. de Verneuil. 
It is not without some hesitation that we place the genus Coenites in the class of Polypi; 
the form of the calices resembling very much what is met with in certain Bryozoa. In 
the present state of our knowledge concerning the structure of these fossils, their zoological 
affinities cannot be determined with certainty, but we are inclined to think that they are 
allied to the Favositidee. 
C. intertextus’ resembles C. juniperinus in its dendroid form, but differs from it in 
the form of the calices.
