should almost suspect it to belong to a species related to Cyathocrinites 
quinquangularis. 
. The Baron states that he is in possession of many pentacrinal columnar 
fragments which appear to appertain to other species, and conjectures that if 
Knorr’s Pentacrinite, p. 1. t, 11. ር. (our P. subangularis) may be considered 
distinct, the distinct species may at least amount to three. He confirms my 
assertion in this monograph, that perfect specimens alone can be satisfactorily 
referred to as furnishing correct characters of the column, which materially 
differ near its summit. 
4. Encrinites rRAMOSUS. From the igeblenkalkstefn or cavern lime- 
stone, not as yet precisely identified with any of the British strata, in the 
environs of Gluecksbrunnen and Liebenstein, in Meiningen. His description, 
which by no means tends to furnish a specific character, leads me to suspect 
with the Baron, that the specimen described by him presents the summit of an 
encrinite, its hands and tentaculated fingers. 
5, ENcRINITES RAMOSUS MAJoR. From Muggendorf, and the Canton Basel, 
resembling the former, but larger: š 
6. ENCRINITES ECHINATUS. From the limestone at Basel; in pebbles 
penetrated by iron from Berrach, in Burgundy ; in hornstone from Amberg.— 
From his reference to Knorr, p. 1. t. 26, (say 36.) fig. 8. I consider this to be a 
variety of Rhodocrinites, somewhat analogous to the Mitchel Dean variety. 
He further refers to Boura, t. 58, fig. 413. and 417. 
7. ENCRINITES MESPILIFORMIS. From Gingen, and Heydenheim, in Suabia ; 
probably the jura formation. If I may judge from the figure (PL. xxıx. fig. 5.) 
the Baron furnishes, and which 1 have copied in my plate ADDITIONALCRINOIDAL 
REMAINS, (fig. 17.) I must confess I discover but a very general similarity 
between the columnar joints of this species and the Bradford Encrinite, (our 
Apiocrinites rotundus) of Mr. PARKINSON, to whom he refers; V. ır. t. 14. fig. 
1 10 3; but 1 agree with the Baron in pronouncing it a distinct species, probably 
not occurring in England.
