but pinniformis, to which he referred a specimen of adeonae in addition to the type 

 specimen, he placed in the Milberti group. 



In my first revision of the genus Antedon published in 1907 Lamarck's adeonae 

 was retained in the genus Antedon, but Bell's bidens was placed in the new genus 

 Himerometra. On the establishment of the genus Oligometra in 1908, however, both 

 adeonae and bidens were referred to it. In recording the specimens of adeonae in 

 the British Museum in 1913 I used the new generic name Oligometrides with no expla- 

 nation, and the combination Oligometrides adeonae was used twice in 1914, twice in 

 1915, and once in 1916, similarly without explanation. In my report on the unstalked 

 crinoids of the Siboga expedition published in 1918 I included Oligometrides in the key 

 to the genera of the Colobometridae, thereby defining it for the first time.
