Sixteen specimens. 



Lytechinus anamesus, 1 sp. nov. 

 Plates 99, figs. /,, 5; 107, figs. 7-11. 



The largest specimen measures 25 mm. in diameter and 13 mm. high. It has 



15 interambulacral and 19 ambulacral plates in each column. The abactinal 

 system is 8 mm. in diameter and the actinostome is 9 mm. across. The longest 

 primary is 15 mm. long. In a specimen 11 mm. in diameter and 5 mm. high, 

 the abactinal system is 4 mm. and the actinostome 5 mm. in diameter. There 

 are 10 interambulacral and 12 ambulacral plates in each half-area. A specimen 

 17 mm. in diameter is 9 mm. high, while another, 18 mm. horizontally is only 8 

 mm. vertically. A specimen 18 mm. in diameter has the primary spines about 



16 mm. long, while in another, 17 mm. in diameter they only measure 9 mm. 

 The smallest specimen in the series is 7 mm. in diameter and 3.5 mm. high. The 

 abactinal system measures 2.5 mm. across and the actinostome 4 mm. There 

 are in each column, 10 interambulacral .and 12 ambulacral plates and the primary 

 spines are about 2 mm. long. 



The periproct (PI. 99, fig. 5) is large, much larger, as a rule, than a genital 

 plate. It is covered by a number of plates (4-10 in the young, 12-20 in adults) 

 of which one, adjoining genital 3, is usually much the largest. In adults, many 

 of the plates carry small tubercles. The genitals are of approximately equal, 

 moderate size, about as high as wide, and often form a closed ring, but often 

 1 and 5 are separated and often 5 and 4 also. Each plate has a large genital 



= intermediate.
