See Geol. Mag., n.s., Dec IV, Vol. V, pp. 543–8 (December, 1898). Footnote 1 on p. 547 explained the name Dinocystis as derived from , terrible. Although this seemed peculiar, it did not occur to me that Dr. Jaekel must have intended to derive it from to whirl round, in allusion to the marked curvature of the radial grooves. Thus regarded, the name is highly appropriate.
