 BRATE FOSSIES. 



By C. A. WHITE. 



The fossils herein described are among the collections of the National 

 Museniu. The coral was obtained by Prof. O. St. John in the Black- 

 foot Eange of inonntains, sonthward from the Yellowstone National 

 Park, in the snmmer of 1877, wliile prosecnting- his work as geologist of 

 one of the parties of the snrvey then in charge of Dr. F. V. Hayden. 

 The spines of Arelmocidaris are a part of a small collection of Upper 

 Coal Measnre fossils sent by Mr. Frank M. Dininny from Tecnmseh, 

 Nebraska. The fonr species of crinoids, here described as new, consti- 

 tnte part of a collection which has been for several years in the cases of 

 the Mnsenm, the donor of which collection is nnfortnnately unknown. 

 The only label accompanying the fossils contained only the following 

 inscription: "From thirty miles west of Humboldt, Kansas." The 

 place thus indicated, as determined by a Land-Office map, is in the val- 

 ley of one of the upper branches of Verdigris River, a tributary of Ar- 

 kansas River. Besides the four new species just mentioned, those enu-
