A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 19 



this way. The two first have slender pinnules, and in the last pinnules are entirely 

 lacking; in the proximal portion of the arm. 



OBLIQUITY OF THE JOINT FACES. OR INTERIOR OBLIQUENESS 



In order to determine the degree of obliqueness in the angle between the transverse 

 ridge and the radial intermuscular fossa (the dorsoventral axis of the ossicle), Gisl6n 

 measured the angle between them in series of brachials from the arm bases to more 

 distal portions of the arms. The angle measured was always that of the antipinnular 

 side, and unless otherwise stated was on the distal articular facet.
