t For the illustration of the fossil pentacriui, a fine specimen of the 
recent species (Pentacrinus Asterias) is deposited under a bell- 
glass in the S. W. corner of this room. The vertebras of a similar 
fossil species being known by the appellation of Asterias or Starstone, 
Linnaeus derived from it the specific name of the recent species, 
which, however, he erroneously referred to the genus Isis.
