Sara (1864,-08; synn^Cono-crinus, dOrb. ; Democrinus, Perr.), Eoceneto Recent; Atlantic, 73 to (0 IDOO fathoms ;sides of cup slope slightly outwards; bhhigh, may be 7 times height of lUl, oltrnfused ; radial facet slopes upwards to centra,with small ligament-fossa ; IBrj ,„„i o freelaterally, arms not forking; proximale thinand discoidal ; proximal columnals discoidal,those of middle region slender, fulcral ridgebroken at axial canal, arouml ^i theligament-fossa ia concentrated (tig. ) ; no cirri except at root (Fig. CXVl. ; see. rilE CRINOIDEA 195 also X., XXIII. 4). Family 3. Antedonidae. Pinnata in which thepatina consists of 5 small l^B, not forming a closed circlet, and RR withlarge high muscle-plates and facet approaching horizontal ; cavity enclosedby RR is minute ; mouth endocyclic ; proximal Br loosely incorporated incup ; columnals as in Boui-gueticrinidae, but usually lost in the adult, ex-cept the proximale and adjoining columnals which fuse with one anotherand with IBB to form a single ossicle, the centrodorsal, which bearscirri; root when present, encrusting. 0 and x present in brephic stage,but not in adult. Sacculi almost always present. (See structural details ofAniedon, Figs. IX., XV., XVIII. 2, 3, 4, XIX., XXX., XXXIII., XLVL,XLVIL, XLIX. 8, 9, LIV., LV.)
