A review of Messrs. Wachsmutli and Springer's views on the strncture of the 

 genus. The author concludes that in any case they will no longer be able to 

 refer to this family as Palaeocrinoids, which " jtrobably have hydrospires 

 within the calyx," and to use this supposed fact as an illustration of their 

 theory that Blastoids, Cysticis, andCrinoids are so closely linked together, 

 that they are not entitled to rank as classes of Echinodernis equivalent to 

 the Urchins and Starfishes.
