 auiuilus in the columuals and, in the crown, basals and orals. (After Mortensen.) 



533 A pentacrinoid larva of Antedon mediterranea from Naples, showing the interrelationships of 



the various parts. (Adapted from Chadwick.) 



534._The distal portion of the column and the root of a very young pentacrinoid larva of Ilalhro- 

 mctra s'lrsii from Norway, showing the attachment by a digitating terminal stem plate to a 

 cohimnal of Rhizoerinus lofolcnm. (After M. Sars.) 



535. — The distal portion of the column of a pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra prolixa from east 

 Greenland, showing a digitating tonninal stem plate. (After Mortensen.) 



536. — The attachment of a fully grown pentacrinoid larv.iv of Hathrometra sarsii from Norway by a 

 typical digitating terminal stem plate and a short radicular cirrns. (After M. Sara.) 



537. — The root of a young pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra sarm from Norway, showing the digitat- 

 ing terminal stem plate. (After M. Sars.) 



538. — The distal columnals and attachment of a young pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra prolixa 

 from East Greenland in which the radials are j ust beginning to form, showing the commence- 

 ment of the digitating form of terminal stem plate. (After Mortensen.) 



539. — The distal portion of the column of a young pentacrinoid larv'a of Hathrometra sarsii from 

 Norway, sho\ving the attacliment, by a digitating terminal stem plate, to a Rhabdammina 

 abyssicola and, at the third columnal beyond, a second attachment by radicular cirri. 

 (After M. Sars.) 



540. — A young pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra sarsii from Nonvay, sliowing attaclmient by a 

 digitating terminal stem plate, beyond wliich are two attacliments by radicular cirri, and 

 still further out unattached incipient radicular cirri. (After M. Sars.) 



541. — Incipient radicular cirri on the columnals of a young pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra sarsii 

 from Norway; the columnals shown are the twenty-third and twenty-fourth above the 

 terminal stem plate. (After M. Sars.) 



Plate 4. 



Fig. 542.— Oral view of a very young pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra prolixa from East Greenland, 



showing the orals. (After Mortensen.) 

 543. — Young pentacrinoid lar\-a of Antedon bifida showing the terminal stem plate, the columnals 



in process of formation, the basals, the orals, and, in the angles between the basals and the 



orals, the begiiinings of the radials. (After Wyville Thomson.) 

 544. — The crown and proximal columnals of a very young pentacrinoid larva of Hathrometra prolixa 



from East Greenland, showing the basals and orals. (After Mortensen.) 

 545. — A pentacrinoid larva of Heliometra glacialis at the time of the first formation of the cirri . 



(After P. H. Carpenter.) 

 546. — A young columnal consisting of a central annidus only in a pentacrinoid larva of Antedon 



mediterranea from Naples. (Adapted from liurj-.) 

 547. — Oral \-iew of an early pentacrinoid lar\'a of Compsometra lovai i from Port Jackson, New South 



Wales, sho%ving the orals and, beyond them, the b;isals. 

 548. — Oral view of a young pentacrinoid larva of Comxictinia meridionalis from Yucatan, just after 



the appearance of the radials.
