A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 407 



assigned to the genus Selenemelra must be transferred to the genus Oxymetra, and the 

 name Selenemetra must be relegated to the synonymy of Oxymetra. 



In a paper on the crinoids of the Berlin Museum published on November 20, 1912, 

 I noted that I had examined the two co types of Selenemetra finschii in that museum. 



In my memoir on the crinoids of the Indian Ocean published in 1912, I listed 

 Selenemetra finschii, S. aranea, S. gracilipes, and S. viridis as valid species and rede- 

 scribed S. aranea. In the original description of S. tenuicirra, which was published 

 in 1912, that form was compared with S. finschii. 



Dr. Robert Hartmeyer hi 1916 published a note correcting the catalog numbers 

 of the type specimen of Selenemetra finschii in the Berlin Museum. 



In my memoir on the unstalked crinoids of the Siboga expedition published hi 

 1918 a key to the species of Oxymetra was given hi which Oxymetra finschii and 0, 

 aranea were both admitted as valid species; 0. finschii was said to be characterized by 

 having the first four or five pairs of pinnules stiffened and elongated, PI about as long 

 as P 2 , which is markedly longer than P 3 , and 60-80 cirrus segments of which those hi 

 the outer half of the cirri bear small dorsal spines, and 0. aranea was said to have the 

 first six or seven pairs of pinnules stiffened and elongated, PI markedly shorter than 

 P 2 and P 3 , which are of the same length and character, and 47-66 cirrus segments of 

 which the outer three-fourths bear prominent dorsal spines.
