Dr. Shumard stated that he had devoted some of his lei- 

 sure hours to the preparation of a Catalogue of American 

 Crinoidea, of which a vast number of genera and species had 

 been described from the Palaeozoic Rocks of the U. States, 

 and he thought the list would be greatly extended by future 

 researches. He had already catalogued seven hundred and 

 fifty species, but it was probable the list included a consider 

 able number of synonyms.
