PLATE XVI. 
Fig. 1, Part of the vertebral column of the pear encrinite, of Bradford. 
2. The superior vertebrm, gradually increasing in their diameter. The granulated 
appearance at the inferior part of this specimen proceeds from the attachment 
of some coralloid body, which has become petrified with the encrinus. 
3. One of the vertebrm, last described, seen detached. 
4. The clavicle, which is seen attached to the other parts, Fig. 6, 7, and 8. a, 
shewn separate. 
5. Part of the vertebral column, which has acquired an additional covering of a pur- 
plish hue. 
6. One of the most perfect specimens of this encrinite that I have seen. Here all the 
parts, particularly pointed out. Fig. 8, are again seen in their natural situation, 
and connected with the first joints of the fingers of the animal. The existence 
of the first bones of the fingers was ascertained by careful examination, after 
a farther clearing of the specimen, but not until the account of this specimen, 
page 211, had passed the press. 
7. In this specimen the vertebrm are seen in connection with the clavicle and 
scapulae. 
8. A specimen * shewing the several parts in connection : 
a, the clavicle. 
J, the scapulse. 
c, the bones of the arms. 
d, the last series of the bones of the arms, the superior surface having two 
concavities for the reception of the bones of the fingers. 
9. Part of a vertebral encrinal column, with digitated processes passing out of each 
vertebra. 
10. Part of a pentacrinal vertebral column, in the superior vertebrae of which are de- 
pressions for the insertions of the vertebral processes. 
* A variety of formation seems to be observable between this specimen and the one 
Fig. 7, in the line connecting the clavicle with the superior vertebrm : in the former a body 
is discoverable between the last vertebrae and each of the inferior convex points of the body 
which I have considered as the clavicle. The admission of these bodies as ribs would rend^ 
the analogy complete: and sufficient reason seems to exist for this admission; since the 
specimen. Fig. 7, is much more distinct in its markings than is either of the speci- 
mens, Fig. 6 or Fig. 8, both of which have a hacked surface, from the spathose crystallized 
substance.
