The Cystideans (Figs. 69 to 71) originated in the Cambrian for- mation, attained their maximum development in a number of species in the Silurian, and became mostly extinct in the Carboniferous period. Class I.—CRINOIDEA. Spheriail or cup-shaped Echinoderms, wifnout a inadreporic plate, usii- ally attaclied by a jointed stem, a few free in adult life, with five arms sub- dividing into pinnulm; the amiulacral feet in the form, of tentacles arising around the mouth in the furrows of the calyx or situated on (lie jointed arms. In the Blastoidea and certain Cystideans the anas are ab- sent, hut the jnnnidm are usually present, though absent in Oaryocystites.
