and a number of small plates in the ventral disk. Disk depressed-hemi- 

 spheric ; the interambulacral spaces nearly on a level with the ambulacra ; 

 all the plates shghtly convex. Anal tube large at the base, and almost 

 central.

Remarlcs. — The small specimen which Barris described as variety '^ lira- 

 tus^' is in our opinion not sufficiently distinct for separation, and, it seems to 

 us, the differences given are readily explained by individual growth.

Syn. Stereocrinus triangulatus Bareis (in part). 



Of medium size. Calyx more than once and a half as wide as high, 

 flattened to the top of the radials, and slightly depressed at the basals ; the 

 sides from the middle of the costals rising vertically; lobed at the arm 

 bases. Yentral disk short, slightly tumid, the interambulacral spaces deeply 

 depressed so that the ambulacral regions are conspicuously elevated. Plates 

 of the dorsal cup covered by similar sets of triangles as in the preceding 

 species, but the ridges forming them more prominent, and there is a node in 

 the centre of each plate ; suture lines difficult to see. The column is sur- 

 rounded by a strong circular ridge. 



Basal disk projecting beyond the column. Radials and costals nearly 

 equal in size, the former hexagonal, the others heptagonal. Distichals three 

 in the calyx ; the first a third the size of the costals \ the second and third 

 extremely short, the latter facing laterally. First interbrachial very large, 

 the two of the second row much smaller. Ambulacral openings large, elon- 

 gate. Respiratory pores four to each interradius, and two above the inter- 

 distichal spaces. Orals rather large, slightly tumid, pushed to the anterior; 

 the posterior one resting against the base of the anal tube, which is almost 

 central. The plates covering the food grooves small and tuberculiform ; the 

 interambulacral ones somewhat larger and almost flat. Column small, round; 

 the axial canal large and pentalobate.
