 Two new species, Pentacrinus gueitardi and Pentacrinus amdtii, are mentioned here, but nothing is said 

 as to wliich came fromAniLoina, nor as to the nature of the other. The Amboina specimen was probably

" I learn from a correspondent at Jlclboume, Mr. -J. S. Poore, that during his visit to King George's 

 Sound, Western Australia, he there dredged up from 8 fathoms a living Encrinite. The stem, which was 

 attached to a stone, was about 6 inches long ; the arms about 1 1 inch, of a beautiful rose-colour or pink, fading 

 to white." Sir. E. Owen in Ann. and IJai/. Nat. Hist., ser. 3, voL ix., 18G2, p. 486. 



This may perhaps have been a Pentacrinoid larva, but if so, it was of most unusual size. Further iufornia- 

 tion about it from Australian naturalists would be most valuable.
