curious appearance reminding one of a tape-worm, e. g. Dibothrio- 
cephalus. We have an appearance distantly reminding of this type in a 
somewhat abnormal specimen figured among the Bythocrini of Dr. 
Mortensen’s Japanese Crinoids, to appear later on (fig. 53). The 
globular distal stem-joints are also very characteristic and unparalleled 
among other recent stalked Crinoids. Perhaps the stem terminated 
with the 17th segment, which on its distal face has a cluster of 
radicular appendages, but this may possibly be a secondary phen- 
omenon the stem broken and the radiculi budding out on the 
distal face of the last columnal.
