Note on additional specimens. — Professor Laczkö has lately for- 
warded some material from Veszprem (Giricses-domb, lower stratified limestone), in 
which are two trochitae (m and n) generally resembling the specimens h — 1, but 
with distinctly concave side-faces. The measurements in millimetres are as follows :

There is no rim ; the crenellae have not the peculiar notched appearance that 
characterises Dadocrinus; they show signs of arrangement in five groups. It is 
possible that the longer of the two trochitae is really compound, as described for 
Encrinus by Goldfuss (Petrefacta Germ. p. 178) and for Holocrinus by R. Wagner 
(Jena. Zeitschr. XX, p. 8; 1886).

History of the species. — The previous synonymy is given by Laube, 
but, as explained above, I do not accept bis inclusion of Flabellocrinites cassianns. 
Judged from the figures alone, the specimens represented in Laube, pl. VIII a, 
fig. 10, c, d , e, appeared to me doubtful. This was only because they were badly 
drawn. They really are quite normal, of the type of the proximal region of the stem. 
The closure of the grooves to form the canals, seen in these and similar specimens, 
is the first stage in the evolution of the so-called Traumato er inus, which has a 
joint-face in other respects closely resembling that of this type of columnal. 
The columnals referred to E. granulosus by S. von Wöhrmann (1889) differ 
from this species in the heterotomous branching of the striae, which are not granulär, 
and are much finer than in E. granulosus. 
Quenstedt (1875) sought to separate from this species those columnals in which 
the ridges are relatively fine and almost reach the central canal. He coinpared them 
to Entrochus silesiacus. To this course there are two objections: first, as Beyrich 
pointed out (Crin. d. Muschelkalks; Abh. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1857, Phys. Kl. No. 1,
