Summary

Three new species of Marsupiocrinus are described from the basal Wenlock Laurel Limestone of southeastern Indiana. Although the earliest representatives of the genus yet known, they display fully the specialized characters peculiar to it. Two new subgenera of Marsupiocrinus are erected on the basis of arm structure and cup shape.
