226 BULLETIN 82, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM VOLUME 1 



(1918) has given a complete list of all the localities where it had been found by Sir 

 John Murray and his collaborators; Beaumont (1900), Kemp (1905), Colgan (1905), 

 Farran (1915) and Williams (1954) gave new records for Ireland, while Nichols (1903) 

 summarized its distribution on the Irish coasts; Vallentin (1904) recorded it again 

 from the Scilly Isles, and Todd (1903) added new localities in the Plymouth region 

 for which area Pace (1904) summarized all previous records and gave many new ones, 

 which are also included in the Plymouth Marine Fauna List (1931). Details of its 

 occurrence about Guernsey were given by Sharp (1908) and on the Portuguese coast 

 by Nobre (1903, 1904, 1931, and 1938) and Elias da Costa (1942). The myzostomes 

 infesting it were mentioned by Allen (1904) and Chadwick (1907). 



Comparisons between this and allied species were given by Grieg (1904), who at 

 the same tune described the ambulacral deposits, while much new information regarding 

 the larval stages, including the discovery of infrabasals, was given by Mortensen (1920). 



The outstanding contributions from the cytological point of view were the mem- 

 oirs on the oocyte by Chubb (1906) and Schaxel (1911), and more recently by Vannini 

 and Urban! (1949 to 1955). The significance of the intercostal plates was considered 

 by Springer (1906), the fixation was described by Perrier (1902), and excellent popular 

 accounts were given by Fowler (1912), Koehler (1921 and 1927) and Mortensen (1927). 

 Detailed accounts of the anatomy and embryology, as well as other features of the 

 biology of the species, have been covered in the recent textbooks of Cuenot (1948) and 

 Hyman (1955) and Nichols (1960) has dealt with the tube feet.
