172 ACCOUNTS, ETC., OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 



the Oorallian and Bathonian rocks of France (Charpy), 

 including" the syntypes of Millericrinus charjyyi and other 

 specimens studied by P. de Loriol ; Crinoids from the Oxfordian 

 of Var (MichaJet), from the Toarcian of the Balearic Islands 

 (D. M. A. Bate), from the Carboniferous of Fife (J. Wright) 

 and of Japan (G. Lewis) ; Bourgueticrinus from the Senonian 

 of Hants (C. Griffith) and Roveacrinus from that of Sussex 

 ( Withers, Mockler) ; and Cystidea from the Ordovician of 

 Bohemia. 



The sorting and determination of the T. Wright Collection 

 of foreign Echinoidea has been completed. 



The chief work has been on Cystidea, partly in the prepara- 

 tion, sorting, and labelling of collections specially made in 

 Sweden, partly in the comparison of the Museum collections 

 with specimens lent from Scotland, Bohemia, and elsewhere, 

 and in the preparation of replicas from all these latter. 

 Considerable progress has been made with the slip-catalogue of 

 Cystidea. 



Among various additions to the exhibited series the most 

 interesting is a set of the curious ci'inoid Petalocrinus, which 

 has recently been found in the Woolhope Limestone (R. W. 

 Pocock). The specimens, tablets, and labels in the exhibited 

 series of Foreign Echinoidea in wall-cases 15, 16, have been 

 cleaned. 



A slip-catalogue has been started for all specimens of 

 Echinoderma placed on exhibition with modern printed labels, 

 and has the result of saving constant reference to the public 

 galleries. (The same applies to Arthropoda and Annelida.) 



Number of specimens of Echinoderma registered : Echinoidea, 

 293 ; Asteroidea and Ophiuroidea, 59 ; Crinoidea, 483 ; Blas- 

 toidea, 1 : Cystidea, 27. Total, 863. 



Annelida (Gallery 8 and Workroom), — The acquisitions 

 registered, labelled, and incorporated during the year include 

 various specimens from the Carboniferous of the British Isles 

 (G. H. Morton and Bather Colls.). 



Further studies have been made on the British Cretaceous 

 Terebelloids, leading to a revision and re-labelling of several 

 drawers and of the exhibited series, as well as the resultant 

 acquisitions. 



Number of specimens of Annelida registered, 25. 



Brachiopoda (Gallery 8 and Workroom). — Progress has 

 "been made with the registration of the Walker Collection, all 

 the British specimens (^nearly 50,000 in number) having now 

 been entered. 



Numerous figured specimens, both in the Walker Collection 

 and in the general collection, have been mounted and labelled 

 for exhibition, and placed in the table-cases with the Davidson 

 Collection. Records of these have been added to the slip- 

 catalogue. 



Number of specimens of Brachiopoda registered, 55,656.
