18 PALEONTOLOGY OF NEW-YORK. 
24. 1. CHATETES ——— (Species undetermined). 
Pu. IV. Figs. 7 a, b,c, d. 
Small rolled masses, in the shape of acorns or eggs, are common among the crinoidal 
plates in the Encrinal limestone at Chazy. 
Figs. 7 a, b, c. The specimens considerably magnified, Fig. 7 d. The ends of the tubes magnified. 
25. 1. ACTINOCRINUS TENUIRADIATUS (n. sp.). 
Pu. 1V. Figs. 8 & 9. 
Plates depressed-conical, somewhat irregularly hexagonal in form; margins deeply 
crenated ; surface marked by elevated sharp ridges, which meet at the sutures; rays or 
ridges in about six fascicles, which are from three to five times divided before reaching the 
margin ; indentations of the rays producing the crenulations ; lower surface of the plates 
flat, presenting a deeply notched margin. 
The plates of this species, which appears to be new, are very abundant in the Crinoidal 
limestone of Chazy : they have evidently been macerated for a long time in water before 
being imbedded. Associated with these plates are a great number of fragments of encrinal 
columns ; and from the thickness and extent of the mass, which shows a large number of 
the plates, it is evident that, at one period, this was a favorite habitation of the crinoidea. 
The disturbance attending their destruction has so comminuted their remains, that no perfect 
specimens can be obtained. 
In form of plates, and mode of sculpture, this species somewhat resembles Cyathocrinus 
geometricus of GoLpruss, as figured by Puitiies (Paleozoic Fossils, p. 135, pl. 60, fig. 41). 
(State Collection.) 
26. 2 ACTINOCRINUS? 
Px. IV. Fig. 10. 
( Species undetermined ) . 
A single plate only (perhaps belonging to this genus) has been found. Form octagonal, 
somewhat irregular, smooth or granulated (from weathering ?). 
Position and locality. This specimen was found at the base of the limestone, and im- 
mediately at its junction with the Calciferous sandstone, about one mile west of Chazy 
village. 
27. 1. ASTERIAS? —— (Species undetermined ) . 
Pu. IV. Figs. 11 a, 0d. 
This specimen presents precisely the form and appearance of the madreporiform tubercle 
on the back of an Asterias, scarcely differing from that of the recent species of our coast. 
It is entirely separated from any other organic body in the stone, though associated with 
large numbers of crinoidal fragments.

Position and locality. In the lower part of the limestone at Chazy.
