The stem contains about 100 joints, ending in a short unbranched 

 (possibly broken) root, about 6 mm. above which is a simple lateral 

 root, and resembles in character that of other members of the genus. 

 The color in life is ver}^ light yellow. 



This interesting species will be discussed more fully in a paper now 

 in course of preparation on the crinoids of the Pacific.
