A review of Messrs. Wacbatuutli and Springer's views on the structure of the 

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

 refer to this f;u«ily as Palaeocrinoids, which "probably have hydrospire.s 

 within the calyx," aud tolisethis supposed fact as an illustration of their 

 theory that Blastoids, Cystios, aud Criuoids are so closely linked together, 

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

 the Urchins and Starfishes.
