This generic name was given by Vanuxem to include star-like Crinoids " clustering together so as to form one ; It is now known that they are Cystideans of a very remarkable type, being destitute of a stem. The general form of the calyx is hemispherical. This specimen is from the Chester lime- stone (Carboniferous), Kaskaskia, 111. Price, $ No. 897. Ancyrocrinus spinosus, Hall. The Crinoids of this genus were probably free when adult. They have the form of a bulb or thickened column, with lateral ascending processes and a cen- tral ascending column. This specimen is from the limestone of the Upper Hel- derberg (Devonian), Falls of the Ohio. Price, $ No. 898. Apiocrinus Parkinsoni, Schloth. Two bodies and two stems branching from one root; young.
