The late researches of Professor Sars upon the anatomy of this singu- 
lar group has given it a preponderating interest to readers of these re- 
searches, and Count Pourtales' list shows that we may expect still greater 
additions to our knowledge. The author describes five new Species of 
Antedon, and mentions that Pentacrinus Müllerii was digest ata depth of 
two hundred and seventy fathoms off Havana, and at three hundred and 
fifteen fathoms off Double-headed Shot Keys, but ios on the Florida side 
of the Gulf Stream. 
epu en Lofotensis has been obtained several times during the sea- 
of 1869, in depths varying from two hundred and thirty-seven to four 
alan and fifty fathoms. The author ulso states that he has seen the 
arkable 
and almost precipitous elevation of the bed of the Atlantic, sociale 
discovered by the Swedish Frigate Josephine between the coast of Por- 
tugal and the Azores. In this collection he saw Rhizocrinus Lofotensis, 
Echinocucumis typica and Pteraster onre aa common to the coast 
of — TN and the deep ses adnan _ the

IL CRINOIDS OF OHIO AND KENTUCKY.f— This article comprises 
kica of thirteen new species and two new genera, Hadrocrinus 
and Ataxiacrinus. Mr. Lyon has passed some thirty years in pelis. 
the collection which forms the basis of his descriptions in the neighbor- 
hood of the Falls of the Ohio, and the thoroughness of his Peas 
derive additional value for the interesting character € this locality. The 
new species belong respectively to genera, Hadrocrinus, Actinocrínus, 
Cyathocrinus, Poteriocrinus, Platycrinus, ep ape Ataxiacrinus, and 
Zeacrinus. 

MONOGRAPH or THE PHasiNIDAE.] — Under this title Mr. Elliot, who 

is Lo : proposes to issue a companion work to his large : 
and beautiful folio yip of the “Grouse Family," the “Ant 
Thrushes,” and work on the **New and Heretofore Unfigured Birds 
h 
of North America." 'The QUT work will contain figures, with ac- 
companying text, of all the known species .of Pheasants, a Fowl, 
Turkeys, Pea Fowl, Guinea Fowl, etc. The plates will dip nt the spe- 
cies of life size and will be from original paintings by WOLF, lithographed 
by ANS and colored by hand. The monograph will be completed
