Encrini and Pentacrini discovered near Bristol . 93 
Plate 5, Fig. 2, and 3 
Are two views of a specimen in my collection which is allied to 
the preceding, and was found in the upper part of the same rock, 
near the soil. It is somewhat decomposed, but is curious from the 
different sizes of the plates on the two sides. 
Plate 5, Fig, 4, 5, 6 , and 7. 
This is the part of a pentacrinus, which is situated immediately 
above the columnar stem ; its size is that of a common pea ; and 
from fig. 4 it will be seen that the stem must be unusually large in 
proportion. It was taken from an ochreous limestone in a state of 
decomposition, at Stinchcombe, in Gloucestershire, by Mr. Shrap- 
nell of Berkeley. 
Plate 5, Fig. 8, 9, and 10. 
Figure 8 represents a plate of an encrinus, of which several have 
been collected from the w T eather-worn sides of the black rock at 
Clifton, and they are often found in the clays that fill up the 
crevices of its strata ; but hitherto no specimen has been found in 
this neighbourhood in a more perfect state. In the British Museum 
there is one which has several plates connected together in their 
places, and forming the lower part of the body, whence the arms 
spring. The two following figures, No. 9 and 10, are from the 
Ashmole collection at Oxford; Professor. Buckland having allowed 
me to take drawings of them for the better illustration of this 
subject. Fig. 9, is a plate resembling those found at Clifton, but 
having the first joint of the arm attached to it. Fig. 10 is from a 
more perfect specimen. The locality of these is not known.
