* This seems to be the earliest publication in which we find a notice of an American 

 species of Crinoid. Under the name of Kentucky Asterial Fossil, it contains a very good 

 figure of a common species of Pentremites in the Carboniferous strata of the Western 

 States; the P. Godonii of he¥T&nee= Pentremites Jiorealis of most subsequent authors. 



t This author gives a very good description of the Kentucky Asterial Fossil of Parkin- 

 son under the designation of Encrina Godonii. 



t In this paper Mr. Say has given a description of the genus Pentremites.
