Crown usually ovoid, truncate above. Inf rabasals more or less erect, taking part in the calyx wall. Radianal irregularly under right posterior radial, resting on basals, and generally not touching right anterior radial; exception- ally oblique, or wanting. Anal x alone, or followed by others. Interbrachials usually one very large plate (exceptionally more than one smaller in succession) filling the interradius, with rays interlocking above. Primibrachs two. Arms usually dichotomous, interlocking, and infolding almost at a right angle. Column not enlarging at the calyx. Genotype. Anisocrinus interradius Angelin. Distribution. Silurian; Sweden and the United States. Anisocrinus may be described as a combination of Lecanocrinus and Clidochirus, with solid interbrachial structures added. Its most striking peculiarity in typical forms is the relatively enormous first interbrachial plate, usually the only one, completely filling the inter- radius and closely arched over by the abutting rays. The calyx plates are rather evenly curved, without marked depressions at the sutures
