ECHINOIDEA. II. 



J 39 



The differences pointed ont here: in the shape of the test, the form and size of the internal 

 fasciole, the peristome, the petals, the pores included by the subanal fasciole, the tuberculation and 

 the pedieellariae seem to me to leave no doubt that the Cape specimens hitherto referred to Ecli. fla- 

 vescens make a well characterized species, certainly nearly related to flavescens, but easily distinguished 

 from this species. The differences in the shape of the test and the form of the peristome, to be sure, 

 do not appear very clearly from the measurements given below of capense and some equal-sized 

 specimens of flavescens; these characters also are probably rather variable, but in connection with the 

 other differences they get some value. The difference in the size of the internal fasciole is very clearly 

 seen in these measurements. It will be remarked that the measurements of the fasciole in flavescens 

 are not quite in accordance with those given by Koehler (Echinocard. de la Mediterr. p. 182); this 

 may be due perhaps to these measurements being taken from the interior borders of the fasciole or 

 to the specimens from the Mediterranean having upon the whole the internal fasciole somewhat 

 smaller than the specimens from the northern seas. Nevertheless the measurements given by Koehler 

 also show the fasciole to be distinctly larger than in capense.

* The fasciole is measured from the outer borders of the fasciole, the length of the peristome is taken from the 

 point of the labrum. All the measurements are in mm.
