Early in the autumn of 1945 while reviewing the Triassic collections made by the late Messrs. T. Y. Hsu and K. Chen from Kueichou the writer found some beautiful specimens of crinoids including several complete crowns labbelled Encrinus carnalli Beyrich by Hsu. This is, as the writer observed, nothing but a Traumatocrinus; for its stem bears the characteristic features of that genus and the crown is also right away from Encrinus.
