of rcclescription, were recorded with no data but the localities, others were given 

 erroneous and misleading diagnoses, the species briareus was again, as hi 1882, 

 referred to " Antedon" instead of to " Actinometra" where it belonged, and some 

 of the names conferred in 1882 were shifted about and applied to quite different 

 species.

In 1884 also P. H. Carpenter diagnosed his remarkable new genus Thaumato- 

 crinus, which recently has been shown to be only the young of a species belonging 

 to one section of his genus Promachocrinus, the section which was included by 

 Minckert in 1905 in his new genus Decametrocrinus, over which name TJtaumatocri- 

 nus has, of course, priority. 



In the same year that the Alert report was published P. H. Carpenter also pub- 

 lished an account of the crinoids occurring between the Faeroe Islands and Gib-
