PART 5 A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRIXOIDS 303 



In the oldest stage studied by Mortensen the radials have grown considerably and 

 nearly join each other, separating the orals from the basals. The IBri and IBr 2 have 

 lengthened and now have the appearance of a small arm. The radianal apparently 

 has not grown, and has now been pushed out from its original position in the mid- 

 radial line so as to lie wholly in its own interradius between the basal and oral, while 

 the radial has occupied its final position in the mid-radial line, though it is not yet 

 quite symmetrical, the side adjoining the radianal being somewhat narrower. Some 

 meshwork has developed in the depression in the orals. The column in this specimen 

 is incomplete; but in another only slightly younger there are 23 columnals. The 

 terminal stem plate remains small and without lobes. 



So far as can be ascertained without sectioning, the outer pore of the pore canal 

 is closed in this stage. The primary gonad is very small and indistinct.
