The terminology of the last-mentioned author is followed so far as possible; 
but, since every increase in precision of description demands the revision of accepted 
terms or the addition of new ones, it may save ambiguity if attention be here 
drawn to a few of those frequently used in this memoir.

components are adapicaloradoral. There is no need for such terms as dorsal, ventral, 
abactinal, actinal, which generally breed confusion. 
We deal here only with the Corona, i. e. the test minus the apical system and 
plates of the peristomial and periproctal membranes. The corona is composed of ambu- 
lacra (strictly these should be called ambulacral areas) and interambulacra. These 
meet along the «ambulacro-interradial vertical sutures» (DuNcAN) here termed adradial 
sutures. (Text-fig. 6.) 
Each Interambulacrum consists of plates, called interambulacrals, which, in 
the genera hereinafter discussed, except those of the Tiarechinidae, are arranged in two 
vertical columns, meeting in a zigzag suture, the interradial suture; and each 
Ambulacrum consists of two columns of ambulacrals meeting in the perradial 
suture. In questions of orientation the numbering of Loven (1875, pp. 13, 14, 20 et 
sqq.) is used whenever possible. In accordance therewith, in any isolated ambulacrum or 
interambulacrum, as viewed from the exterior with the adapical end uppermost, the column
