Description

Notes: This species name is not recognised and would benefit from re-identification. It could be Pentacrinus caputmedusa which is now accepted as Cenocrinus asterius. This specimen is figured in the Challenger reports though it is not certain this particular one was collected on the Challenger voyage itself.
