Extract

On April 30th, 1897, the Trustees of the British Museum purchased from Dr. F. Krantz, of Bonn, seven specimens labelled “Agelacrinus, n.sp., Unter Devon, Condroz, Frankreich.” But the Condroz is a district in Belgium, south of Namur and yiege, between the rivers Meuse and Ourthe; the species do not belong to Agelacrinus or any known genus; and the matrix clearly is that of the well-known “Psammites du Condroz,” which are Upper, not Lower, Devonian. The species, however, is new, and would have been described by me many months ago had it not been necessary to compare it with other species as rare as they were obscure.

page 547 note 2 In honour of Dr. Charles Barrois, whose valuable work on Devonian rocks and fossils, of other districts, must be held to excuse this dedication to him of a fossil with which he has had no obvious connection. The undesirability of applying the names of persons to species, without cogent reason, has been maintained by me so consistently that it will be understood that these names, suggested by Dr. Jaekel, are here adopted merely so as to avoid any possible confusion.
