[CEYLON PEARL OYSTEE FISHERIES 1904 SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS, No. X.] 



REPORT 



ON THE 



EOHINODERMA 



COLLECTED BY 



Professor HERDMAN, at CEYLON, in 1902. 



BY 

 W. A. HERDMAN, D.Sc, F.R.S., and JANE B. HERDMAN, B.Sc. (Lorn), 



WITH NOTES AND ADDITIONS 



BY 

 F. JEFFREY BELL, M.A., 



EMERITUS PROFESSOR AND FELLOW OF KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. 



[With TEXT-FIGURES.] 



[Editorial Note. The Holothurioidea ol this collection were described in 

 Mr. Pearson's Report published in Part I. (p. 181, 1903), and the Crinoidea are 

 reported upon separately by Mr. Chadwick in this Part (see p. 151, below). 



The greater part of the labour in connection with the remaining groujis of 

 Echinoderma has been undertaken by my wife, who separated out most of the species 

 and identified the Echinoidea. I should naturally have let her name stand alone in 

 the title of the Report, but as I took some part in the work, exercised a general 

 supervision and identified the commoner starfishes, she prefers that I should be 

 jointly responsible. 



Professor Jeffrey Bell, while on a short visit to us in September, kindly went 

 over the greater part of the collection with me and confirmed the identifications. 

 Most of the Ophiuroids and some of the smaller or more doubtful Echinoids and 

 Asteroids were, at his suggestion, sent to him at the British Museum, with the result 

 that he has contributed some additions to our list, and the interesting Notes on some 

 forms and remarks on the more general aspects of the collection, which will be found 

 under his own name at p. 148. W. A. H.]
