2. and cxxiv. The body is brown, and a foot or more in 
length. 
Finally, there are some whose body is equally furnished 
with feet all round. (Hol. papillosa, &c.) 
THE SECOND ORDER OF ECHINODERMATA, 
OR 
ECHINODERMATA APEDICELLATA, 
COMPREHEND but a small number of animals, which pre- 
sent great relations with the holothuriz, but which want the 
small vesicular feet of the preceding order. Their body is 
clothed with a coriaceous skin, and without armature. Their 
internal organization is not yet cleared up on all points. 
MoLpaDIA, Cuv., 
Have, like the holothuriz, a coriaceous body, in the form of a 
thick cylinder, open at the two ends, and their internal or- 
ganization is pretty similar to that of those animals; but, 
besides that they want feet; their mouth has no tentacula, 
and is furnished with an apparatus of osseous pieces, less 
complicated, however, than that of the echini. 
I know but a single species belonging to the Atlantic 
Ocean, the extremity of whose anus is finished in a point. 
(Molpadia holothurioides, Cuv.) 
MINYAS, Cuv., 
Have also the body without feet, and open at the two ends ; 
but its form is that of a spheroid depressed at the poles, and 
furrowed like amelon. Ican find no armature to the mouth.
