BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE NEOCRINOIDEA. 



The followiug list does uot pretend to be a complete Bibliograpliy of tlie Neocrinoidea, 

 i.e., to give a reference to every description of a fossil Crinoid which has appeared in the 

 countless publications upon the PaljBontology of the Secondary and Tertiary Periods. 

 Neither is it meant to include every notice of a recent Crinoid in faunal and other lists. 

 The numerous controversial references to fossil forms in epistolary communications to 

 the Neues Jahrbuch by von Buch, von Meyer, and others are also mostly omitted, 

 and must be sought for in the excellent Bibliography of de Koninck and le Hon. 



But I have endeavoured to make the accompanying list complete for the two 

 following classes of works : — (1) all those containing descriptions of new species of recent 

 Crinoids ; (2) all those which, though dealing principally with Palseocrinoids or with 

 other Echinoderms, contain valuable information upon the Morphology of the Crinoids 

 generally. The literature of the Pelmatozoa has increased at a very rapid rate since the 

 publication of the admirable Bibliography by de Koninck and le Hon in 1854, which 

 contained a chronological list of nearly all the earlier works on the subject.' W(> may 

 hope ere long for a supplement to this as regards the Palseocrinoids from Messrs. Wach- 

 smuth and Springer ; and I trust in the course of time to be able to complete the 

 following list by the addition of references to works on general palaeontology which 

 contain notices of Neocrinoids.

 recorded them in the following list.
