Excerpt from The Voyage of H. M. S. Challenger; Zoology: Report Upon the Crinoidea Collected During the Voyage of H. M. S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76
During the cruise of h.m.s. Challenger, and also for some years before it, Sir Wyville had devoted much attention to the Stalked Crinoids, and he proposed himself to investigate the collection of this group of animals which was made during the Expedi tion. He also arranged with Prof. Alexander Agassiz that he should embody the descriptions of the Stalked Crinoids dredged in. The Caribbean Sea by the us. Coast Survey steamer Blake in his Report on the Challenger collection, so that it might assume the form of a monograph of all the species known to science. He was able to do but little with the Blake collection, however; and with the concurrence of Prof. Agassiz it was sent to me by Mr. Murray along with the Challenger collection, proofs of plates, drawings, preparations, and some notes, in the spring of 1882.
