CRINOIDE. 



Crino'ide de Folin, Sous lea mers, 1887, p. 281. 



De Folin here records a small stalked crinoid from 2,212 meters 

 off the west coast of Morocco. 



BATHYCRINUS. 



Bathycrinus de Folin, Sous les mers, 1887, p. 282. 



De Folin records a specimen dredged from 2,083 meters off the 

 west coast of Morocco. 



UN PETIT CRINOi'DE. 



Un petit crino'ide Richard, Bull. soc. zool. France, vol. 27, 1902, p. 85. 



Professor Richard records a small crinoid, probably a Bathycrinus, 

 from 3,890 meters in the Cape Verde Islands. 



RHIZOCRINTJS LOFFOTENSIS Wyville Thomson. 



Rhizocrinus loffotensis Wyville Thomson, The Depths of the Sea, 1873, p. 450. 



Sir Wyville Thomson records that the Swedish frigate Josephine 

 obtained this species on the Josephine Bank. Undoubtedly the 

 identification is incorrect.

Remarks. — A number of distinct species are included by Carpenter 

 and by Kcehler under the name Rhizocrinus rawsoni, none of which 

 are the same as the West Indian form originally described under that 

 name by Pourtales.
