 tegminal appendages and the proximal portions of the arms emerging from beneath them. 

 2, G. tuberculoses, the appendages mostly broken off, but more of the arms preserved. 3, G.cal- 

 caratus, showing how the appendages of the European forms are double where they issue from 

 the tegmen. 4, G. typus, patina from below ; ap, tegminal appendages ; ap', their points of 

 origin, showing central canal ; Ax, primaxil ; Br, pinnulate arms, which issue from the dorsal 

 cup at Br'. Other letters as usual. (All after Wachsmuth & Springer.) x .

 Eichwald (1859, em. Tschernyschew, 1893), Lower Devonian, Ural, 

 differs, if at all, in iBr series, which runs 1, 1, 2, 3. Ophiocrinus,
