XXX. — British Fossil Crinoids. — VI. Botiyocrinus quiii- 

 qiielobus, sp. nov., Wenlock Limestone ; and Note on

[Plate XI. figs. 1 & 2.] 



Examination of the numerous British species referred at 

 one time or another to Cyathocrinus has brought to light one 

 tliat certainly does not belong to the genus, but appears refer- 

 able to Botryocrinus. That this species was not recognized 

 in time to incorporate its description in the preceding paper is 

 due partly to the fact that the anal area is not exposed in 

 either of the only known specimens, but chiefly to the unfor- 

 tunate necessity I am under of examining the specimens in 

 the Woodwardian Museum, where these are placed, by flying 

 " visits, few and far between."
