PLATE 49. 

 Oligoporus blairi Miller and Gurley. Page 351. 



Figs. 1-3. Keokuk Group, Lower Carboniferous, Boonville, Missouri. Univ. of Chicago Coll., 6,470, cotypes. Natural 

 size. Melon-like ribs moderately developed, ambulacra! plates demi-, occluded and scattered isolated. 



Fig. 1. Interambulcra A, C, and E each with seven columns of plates. Drawing of this specimen, Plate 47, fig. 7. 



Fig. 2. In interambulacrum A there are six columns of plates, the initial pentagon of column 6 lying on the right of the 

 center just below the mid-zone. In interambulacrum C there are seven columns of plates. The initial pentagon 

 of column 5 is in the middle line near the ventral border; the initial pentagon of column 6 lies three rows above on 

 the left of the center, and the initial pentagon of column 7 lies again three rows above in the center and just above 

 the mid-zone. 



Fig. 3. In interambulacrum A there are six columns of plates, the initial pentagon of column 6 with a heptagon on its 

 right ventral border lying on the left of the center and below the mid-zone. In interambulacrum C the initial penta- 

 gon of column lies on the left of the center and appears somewhat earlier than in area A. The initial pentagon 

 of column 7 with a heptagon on its right ventral border appears just above the mid-zone. Above this zone on the 

 right the plates are displaced and confused.
