sieben Exemplaren bekannten Thiergattung unterscheidet ; der Pentacrinus Guettardi, der Pentacrinus eaput- 
Medusx und der Pentacrinus. Aradtii.” Bericht wu. d. Versainml. deutsch. Naturf. in Karlsruhe, 1858, p. 293. 
Two new species, Pentacrinus guettardi and Pentacrinus arndtii, are mentioned here, but nothing is said 
as to which came from Amboina, nor as to the nature of the other. The Amboina specimen was probably 
a Metacrinus,

“T learn from a correspondent at -Melbourne, Mr. J. S. Poore, that during his visit to King George’s 
Sound, Western Australia, he there dredged up from 8 fathoms a living Encrinite. The stem, which was 
attached to a stone, was about 6 inches long ; the arms about 14 inch, of a beautiful rose-colour or pink, fading 
to white.” Sir. R. Owen in Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 3, vol. ix., 1862, p. 486. 
This may perhaps have been a Pentacrinoid larva, but if so, it was of most unusual size. Turther informa- 
tion about it from Australian naturalists would be most valuable.
