ECHINODERMATA. 279 



face plates of a Pentaccros have been found by Clark. They are 

 so highly characteristic that their generic relations are clearly 

 apparent. As no other Cretaceous representatives of this genus 

 have been found in American deposits they are given a specific 

 name as they cannot be readily associated with any known Euro- 

 pean species.
