Plate 5, Fig. 11. 
This specimen is from the magnesian limestone at Clevedon, and 
is remarkable for the appendages which arise from different parts 
of the stem. These are different in the order of their insertion 
from those which are seen in the recent pentacrinus, the latter being 
in regular verticillations. The manner of their insertion is also 
different, as they appear to be connected with more than one joint of 
the stem. In our present state of ignorance as to the nature of these 
bodies, it is desirable to collect all the materials we can, in the hope 
of being at length able to explain the use and nature of the various 
parts. At present I am unable to offer any conjecture respecting 
these side arms. 
Plate 5, Fig, 12 
Is another specimen from the same rock, consisting of several 
portions of stems variously bent. These occur very frequently, but 
we have not, as yet, satisfactorily ascertained to what species they 
belong. 
Plate 5, Fig. 13. 
I believe this to be the lower part, or attachment of the fine 
species, represented plate 3, fig. 1, near to which it was found.
