Here is another of those unfortunate cases v/here a long fa- 

 miliar name has to give away to an older and less euphonious 

 one. This beautiful crinoid was taken a number of times on the 

 Pentacrinus grounds off Havana but it is evidently not nearly 

 so common there as is Isocrinus deconis. In the "Narrative" 

 (pp. 73, 74), it is recorded that "when fresh, P. miilleri is 

 darker colored than P. decorus, and is a handsomer species on 

 account of the greater number of arms." '^Pentacrimcs miil- 

 leri came up with the head erect and the numerous arms 



very greatly recurved, usually meeting below the calyx," as 

 do the "perianth-segments" of some tiger-lilies.
