(Carpenter.) ferences existing between the liassic and the modern Pentacrinidse led the Austins to establish the genus Extracrinus for a fossil species which seems to have been gregarious, and of which Queenstedt has figured a magnificent slab, some of the specimens with a stem nearly sixty feet long. The stems were often twisted into a solid, ropelike mass, and are so entan- g-led on the slab that it is dif&cult to make out the individual stems. A sim- ilar entangling also occurred among the specimens dredged by the " Blake," and it was often very difficult to separate speci-.
