PART 5 A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRENOIDS 309 



During a visit to the station at Nanaimo, Dr. Th. Mortensen secured a number of 

 pentacrinoids which he described hi great detail hi 1920. 



[NOTE BY A.M.C.] In Mr. Austin Clark's paper of 1907, the name Antedon 

 perplexa has page priority over A. serratissima, but, hi view of the very brief description 

 of perplexa hi the form of a comparison with asperrima, I do not dispute the use of the 

 name serratissima for this species.

Diagnostic features. The length of the brachials, those following the third syzygy 

 being about as long as broad instead of markedly broader than long, separates this 

 species from serratissima to which, however, it is very closely related; the position of the 

 third syzygy is very irregular but it is often between brachials 16+17 instead of between 

 brachials 14 + 15, which separates it from asperrima; the occurrence of dorsal processes 

 on the proximal segments of the oral pinnules separates it from tanneri, while the bases 

 of these pinnules are not broadened as in magellanica. 



Descriptions oj the known specimens. In the type of mariae the centrodorsal has a 

 conspicuous bare polar area which is not sunken. 



The cirri are about L, 60, 60 mm. hi length; the earlier segments are elongate, the 

 distal short with faintly indicated terminal dorsal spines. The cirri about the dorsal 

 pole are 35 mm. hi length and are composed of about 30 segments. 



The radials are concealed by the centrodorsal except for a narrow border. The 

 IBri are short, about 4 tunes as broad as long. The IBr 2 (auxiliaries) are about as long as. 

 or somewhat longer than, broad, triangular, with the middle of the proximal border 

 raised into a slight tubercle and the proximal edge and distal sides, like the borders of 

 the IBr,, set with fine teeth.
