spines and are carried upon tubercles wliich might truly be called niiliaries. 

 The secondary tubercles form a ring of a single row round the scrobicular 

 area; the rest of the interambulacral plates is occupied by miliaries both in 

 the median interambulacral space and in the space adjoining the poriferous 

 zone. Tliis granulation resembles somewhat that of Chondrocidaris 

 f/ir/ardea. The median ambulacral space carries only very small miliaries 

 forming irregular, interrupted, vertical rows between the two vertical rows 

 of larger ambulacral secondaries. 



This arrangement is only well developed in the larger specimens ; it is 

 only apparent in specimens as large as those figured in PI. 2G, figs. 1-J,, and 

 fnlly developed in larger specimens. 



There is only a single vertical row of narrow, elongate actinal interam- 

 bulacral plates. 



Besides the radical differences in color, this species may be distinguished 

 from *S'. hispinosa by the much longer and more slender primary radioles 

 and the large actinal system, which is but little, if at all, smaller than the 

 abactinal. 



The large globiferous pedicellarite seem to be entirely wanting, and in 

 young individuals the tridentate are also quite infrequent. 



The tridentate pedicellarite (PI. 4, figs. 32-33) have valves long and 

 slender, as much as 1.5 mm. in length, while the stalks are more or less 

 nearly equal to them. They occur chiefly on the interambulacra about the 

 primary spines, and are quite common in large individuals. 



The small globiferous pedicellaria3 (PI. 4, figs. 30-21) are not peculiar, 

 but the valves have a prominent end-tooth. The valves are about .50 mm. 

 in length and are borne on stalks from one to six times as long. These pedi- 

 cellariifi are common, especially on the abactinal system of the young and 

 the interambulacra of the adults.
