PART 5 A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 787 



nule of tlic second brachial of varians Vu but in 1927 (p. 52) and 1934 (p. 17) hewriles 

 that in P. diomediae Pi and Pi are lacking and be calls the (first) pinnule on Brj P, not 

 P2. I have not been able to find the source of Gisl^n's use of Vi for the pinnule on 

 Br2. He used it also for the corresponding pinnule in Eudiocrinus (1922, p. 68) in 

 place of Mr. Clark's Pc- Eudiocrinus was split off from Pentameirocrinus by Mr. 

 Clark in 190S partly on the belief that in the former the second ossicle of each arm is 

 homologous with the axillaries of the related oligophreate genera, whereas he concluded 

 (also in part 2 of this work, p. 107) that in Pentameirocrinus, Thaumatocrinus and 

 Atopocrimis the first two brachials correspond to those of the free arms of other genera 

 and not to their division series. Gislen evidently did not agree with this. 



As explained on p. 801 I have restored the type species, P. ja-ponicus Carpenter 

 from the synonj-my of P. semperi. 



KEY TO TUE SPECIES OF PENTAMETROCRINUS 



a'. Lowest pinnule on the fifth brachial. 



6'. Cirri composed of 15-19 segments of which the distal are less elongated than the longer proximal, 



not especially long and more or less strongly recurved distally; terminal claw long with the 



slender distal portion recurved. 



c'. Cirri very short, their length equal to about one tenth of the arm length, curved for almost 



their whole length; longest cirrus segments about two and a half times as long as broad; 



articular tubercles on the arm bases strongly developed (southern Japan; 309-600 meters) 



tuberculatus (p. 787) 



c*. Cirri longer, their length equal to one fourth or one fifth of the arm length, straight in the 



proximal portion and recurved distally; longest cirrus segments about 4 times as long as 



broad; articular tubercles very slightly, if at all, developed. 



d'. Centrodorsal flattened hemispherical to low conical, bearing XX-XXXV cirri which are 



rather slender and equal more than a quarter of the arm length; perisome with very 



numerous small plates; the proximal pinnules with about 15 segments (Lesser .Antilles; 



Canary Islands and Morocco northward to the west coast of Ireland; 607-2115 meters). 



atlanticus (p. 790) 



cP. Centrodorsal conical, bearing XXX-LX cirri which are stout and equal about one fifth of 



the arm length; perisome naked; proximal pinnules with over 20 segments (Philippines 



to southwestern Japan; 278[?lS8]-522 meters) diomedeae (p. 794) 



b'. Cirri composed of 25-35 segments all of which beyond the basal ones are much elongated, par- 

 ticularly the distal ones; cirri very long, straight for most of their length, slightly and broadly 

 recurved distally; terminal claw conical and minute. 

 e'. Cirri over XXX; centrodorsal relatively large (fig. 50,a); proximal brachials expanded at the 

 joints (southern Japan to the Lesser Sunda Islands; 254[7195]-1210[?1301] meters). 



japonicus (p. 796) 



c*. Cirri under XX; centrodorsal relatively small (fig. 51) ; proximal brachials ^\nth almost straight 



sides, arms rather smooth (off New South Wales and northern New Zealand; 1279-1736 



meters) semperi (p. 802) 



a'. Lowest pinnule on the second brachial (Maldives to the Lesser Sunda Islands and northward to 

 southern Japan; 457[7378]-2060 meters) varians (p. 804)
