The group began its existence as species of Pentremites (Fig. 68) in the Upper Silurian, and culminated in the Carboniferous age. It connects the Crinoids with the Cystideans ; the species have no arms, are supported on a short, jointed stalk, and the oral plates, when closed, as they are in a fossil state, make the calyx look like a flower-bud. There is a mouth and eccentric anal outlet and five radiating grooves, along.
