A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 323 



WMle undoubtedly C. cratera is merely a form of C. Solaris, related to it in much 

 the same way that C. purpurea is to C. pectinata, it is well worth while to call atten- 

 tion to it by designating it with, a special name, at any rate until we know far more 

 about these animals than we do now.
