XO. l820 RECENT CRINOIDS FROM PHILIPPINES — CLARK 201 



Also found at Station No. 5168; off Simonor, Tawi Tawi group; 

 80 fathoms. 



The large number and regularity of the "radials" place this spe- 

 cies with Metacrinus zvyvillii, M. costatus, M. nodosiis, and M. inter- 

 rnptiis, from all of which, however, it is readily distinguishable by 

 the prominent girdle on the internodals and the very broadly rounded 

 angles of the stem. Its closest affinities appear to be with M. mose- 

 Jeyi, in which, however, the "radials" are irregular, the girdle on the 

 internodals low and brOad, arising from their whole surface, the 

 angles of the stem more marked, and the cirri with fewer joints.
