those of the whole spine in mucronata. Shumard and Swallow say the length of primary 

 spines is about 2.5 inches, diameter including spinules 0.1 of an inch.

Archaeocidaris ornata (Eichwalcl). 

 Plate 14, fig. 10. 



Echinocrinus ornatus Eichwalcl, 1860, p. 654, Plate 32, fig. 24 (non Archaeocidaris ornatus Newberry, 

 1861, for which see A. coloradenis, p. 267; non White, 1877, for which see A. mucronata, p. 271; non 

 Klem, 1904, p. 54; non Lambert and Thiery, 1910, p. 124, for which see p. 267). 



Known only from primary spines. Milled ring well developed, above which the shaft 

 tapers to the distal end; the spine is smooth proximally, but distally thickly set with long spinules 

 directed distally at an acute angle. 



Lower Carboniferous, Miatschkowa, near Moscow, Russia. 



*Archaeocidaris ourayensis Girty. 

 Plate 14, fig. 11. 



Archaeocidaris ourayensis Girty, 1903, p. 329, Plate 1, fig. 14; Klem, 1904, p. 63; Lambert and Thiery, 

 1910, p. 125. 



Known only from a primary spine, which has a slender axis slightly over 1 mm. in diameter, 

 densely clothed with relatively large and stout spinules directed distally. Base and tip of spine 

 unknown.

*Archaeocidaris triplex White. 

 Plate 14, figs. 12a-12c. 



Archofocidaris triplex White, 1881, p. xxii, Plate 4, figs. 3a-3c; (?) Girty, 1903, p. 330; Klem, 1904, p. 57; 

 Lambert and Thie"ry, 1910, p. 125. 



Practically known only from interambulacral plates and primary spines. Interambulacral 

 plates described by Dr. White as imperfect, small, thin, only probably belonging to the same 

 species as the spines. Primary spines large, strong, subtriangular in cross section; spinules 

 are strong, short, but prominent and rather distant, in three rows, each upon one of the three 

 obtuse angles of the spine. The rows of spinules extend from a little way above the milled ring 

 to the end of the spine; the rest of the surface is smooth.
