On examining the weathered surfaces of the Silurian limestones in the neighbourhood of Wenlock or Dudley, the student will often find splendid, sometimes perfect, specimens of one or another of the above-mentioned Crinoids. Glypto- 126 OUR COMMON BRITISH FOSSILS, crinus appears to be mdst abundant in the Caradoc beds, and may usually be found where they are well exposed. In the neighbourhood of Newton Abbot, Torquay, and elsewhere, where the Devonian limestones crop out, remains of Encrinites p...eculiar to this formation in their specific character, may be found, although not abundantly. It would seem as if corals, having pretty much the same marine habits as Encrinites, competed with them. Hence, as a rule, wherever fossil corals are very abundant, Encrinites are scarce ; and contrariwise. This is markedly the case with the Devonian limestones of England, where fossil corals are very abundant, and Encrinites comparatively rare, except in certain localities. In the Eifel Moun- tains, the Crinoid family is better represented.
