  The 
  true 
  Greek 
  work 
  is 
  fiapanros 
  ; 
  napavtriov 
  

   occurs 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  Septuagint 
  MSS. 
  as 
  a 
  corruption 
  of 
  the 
  diminutive 
  

   HapaiTuov. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  pity 
  that 
  the 
  name 
  Marsipocrinus 
  was 
  not 
  adopted 
  

   from 
  the 
  beginning, 
  as 
  in 
  parallel 
  cases. 
  In 
  1839, 
  however, 
  J. 
  

   Phillips, 
  in 
  Murchison's 
  ' 
  Silurian 
  System,' 
  gave 
  the 
  corrupt 
  (or 
  

   mongrel?) 
  name 
  Marsupiocrinites 
  to 
  a 
  distinct 
  Silurian 
  genus; 
  this 
  

   has 
  been 
  a 
  source 
  of 
  trouble 
  more 
  than 
  once 
  ; 
  if 
  we 
  may 
  not 
  take 
  

   away 
  the 
  name 
  it 
  would 
  at 
  least 
  be 
  advisable 
  to 
  write 
  it 
  correctly, 
  

   viz. 
  Marsipocrinus.

  Marsupium,

  " 
  Marsupites, 
  Mant. 
  (Marsupium, 
  Koena 
  — 
  

   Marsupiocrinites, 
  de 
  Bl.)." 
  In 
  1846 
  the 
  same 
  writer's 
  ' 
  Nomenclator 
  

   Zoologicus 
  ' 
  quotes 
  " 
  Marsupium 
  Koen. 
  Icon. 
  Sect." 
  H. 
  G. 
  Bronn's 
  

   ' 
  Index 
  Palaeontologicus,' 
  1848, 
  gives 
  the 
  more 
  definite 
  reference 
  to 
  

   C. 
  Konig, 
  ' 
  Icones 
  Eossilium 
  Sectiles,' 
  London, 
  1825.

  Zittel, 
  

   '

  i. 
  p. 
  463, 
  also 
  ascribes 
  the 
  name 
  to 
  Konig. 
  I 
  have 
  

   been 
  unable 
  to 
  find 
  either 
  this 
  name 
  or 
  any 
  figure 
  of 
  the 
  fossil 
  in 
  

   any 
  copy 
  of 
  Konig's 
  work.

  ii. 
  Bd. 
  "Aktinozoen," 
  1860, 
  p. 
  231, 
  where 
  

   the 
  reference 
  recurs, 
  there 
  is 
  some 
  confusion 
  between 
  Koninck 
  and 
  

   Konig, 
  but 
  I 
  cannot 
  find 
  that 
  L. 
  de 
  Koninck 
  ever 
  used 
  this 
  name. 
  

   Was 
  Koena 
  a 
  writer? 
  If 
  so, 
  how, 
  when, 
  and 
  where 
  ? 
  

  

  All 
  other 
  authors 
  have 
  followed 
  Miller 
  and 
  Mantell 
  in 
  the 
  name 
  

   of 
  the 
  genus.
