ever, Matsumoto 1913, fig. f). Brr short. Proximal pinnules lacking. 
Ist suppressed pinnule to the left (Ist developed pinnule to the 
right on Br 8 usually). Pinnulars without flanges, tolerably low. 
Disk stretching high up between the arms, naked, with a long 
and narrow anal cone. No side- or covering plates. 
The diagnosis of the Phrynocrinidæ with our present knowledge 
of the family must be the following: Stalked Årticulata, without 
cirri, in which the stem-ioints are connected by synarthry, excepting 
some relatively few proximal columnals connected by synostosis. 
No radicular appendages. Distal part of the stem terminating with 
a calcareous plate fixing the animal to the substratum. No proximal 
developed, on the contrary a perpetual formation of new columnals 
under the calyx. IBB unknown, if present in a very rudimentary 
condition. BB rather short, never prolonged, always distinctly 
separated from each other by sutures. RR moderate to very prol¬ 
onged. Proximal pinnule-gap. Disk high and large, perisome naked. 
Democvinus globulavis n. sp. 
Figs. 19—21; 22, 3. 
Stem with 17 segments, total length 26 mm. The 5 or 6 first 
segments short and discoidal, rapidly increasing in diameter. The first 
segment almost hidden under the dorsal part of the calyx. From 
the lOth segment globular columnals, about as long as broad or 
slightly longer distally, provided with an indistinct girdle of very 
weak tubercles on the middle of each joint. Articular facets for 
radicular appendages from the 14th segment, usually coupled two 
and two on opposite sides of the proximal part of the joint. The 
most distal joint with numerous small rhizoids at the distah end. 
The stem has therefore, possibly, terminated with this joint, which 
has been provided with a bunch of radicular appendages. Diameter 
of the stem closely under the crown I .2 mm; 5 mm. distally of 
the calyx 2 mm, and 2.6 mm. distally. L. of the most distal 
joint 2.6 mm. 
L. of the calyx (BB-]-RR) 7.3 mm. L. of BB + 6 mm. Breadth 
of the calyx 2.3 mm (in the proximal part), 2.6 mm. closely under 
the RR, 2.0 mm = br. of radial ring ventrally. BB very long and 
closely anchylosed, the sutures most often effaced, only discernible 
in exceptional cases. RR about as high as broad with a shallow
