A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 27 



bear dorsally paired spines or tubercles; the elements of the division series and first 

 two brachials bear flangelike ventrolateral extensions. 



The stout ciu-ved cirri composed of very short segments bearing paired spines or 

 tubercles dorsally, the much enlarged, stout, and stiff P2, and the ventrolateral exten- 

 sions of the elements of the division series and first two brachials make this genus 

 easily recognizable. 



Geographical range. — From Annam, the Bonin, Marshall, Fiji, and Phihppine 

 Islands to northwestern Australia, thence westward to Ceylon, the Seychelles, and 

 Mauritius. 



Bathymeirical range— Ftoui the shore line down to 55 (66?) meters. 



KEY TO THE SPECIES IN THE GENXTS CENOMETRA 



a'. No carination on the basal segments of the lower pinnules, except occasionally in very large 

 individuals (from Annam, the Philippine, Bonin, Marshall, and Fiji Islands to Java and 



Sumatra, and northward to the Arrakan coast of Burma; 0-55 meters) bella (p. 27) 



a'. Basal segments of the lower pinnules carinate. 



6'. No carination on the basal segments of P2 though those of P3 and the following pinnules are con- 

 spicuously carinate (Ceylon and the Gangam coast, Madras Presidency; 14-21 [?66] 



meters) herdmani (p. 43) 



6'. Basal segments of P2 carinate. 



c'. Carination of the basal segments of P2 slight, with the crest straight and parallel with the 



axis of the segments (northwestern Australia) comuta (p. 44) 



c'. Carination of the basal segments of P2 high and conspicuous, with the crest convex 

 (Mauritius and the Seychelles) emendatrix (p. 46)
