Extract

The resemblance of the oral face of an Edrioasteroid to an Asteroid has not merely been remarked on by nearly every writer on the group, but has led many of them to far-reaching conclusions (e.g. Steinmann, 1888 ; Neumayr, 1889). None the less no exact comparison of the structures has yet been made ; nor indeed was such possible until accurate descriptions were available. These have now been provided for various recent and fossil Asterozoa by many writer referred to in the sequel, and especially by Mr. W. K. Spencer (1914, “Monogr. Brit. Palæoz. Asterozoa” Palæontogr. Soc).
