It was a great and unexpected pleasure to me to find that Dr. 

 Gilchrist had dredged living specimens of this interesting form, 

 to our knowledge of which there has been no addition since I 

 described it in 1880. It appears to be fairly abundant, and 

 examples of va.rious sizes have been obtained. In the fresh 

 state the test is uniformly covered with short yellowish green 

 spines, longer below than above the ambitus. 



The only criticism that has been passed on this genus that 

 I know of is by M. de Loriol,* but, as he compares with 

 P. crassa, " EcJiinolamfas rangi," wliich has petaloid ambulacra, 

 I can only suppose that I did not make my meaning clear to him. 



SPATANGIDAE. 



Pourtalesia carinati. 

 Pnurtalcsm carhiata, A. Ag., Rep. Chall. Ech. (1881), p. 133. 



A rather small specimen of what appears to be this species 

 was obtained as follows: — Locality: Cape Point, N.E. by E. 

 .:|- E. 4() mi. From shrimp trawl. Depth, 900 fms. Date, 

 July 2 1st, 1903. Reference, No. 140. 



It is a matter for congratulation that the resources of the 

 Cape of Good Hope naturalist enable him to dredge in deep 

 waters, for it was in the sea between Marion and Crozet Islands 

 (at Stats. 146 and 147) that the " Challenger" made two of her 

 most prolific hauls.
