Test large, circular, depressed, convex on the upper surface, inflated at the sides, and 

 flattened below ; poriferous zones wide and straight in the upper third, narrow and undu- 

 lated at the ambitus and base ; pores largely bigeminal in the wide upper third, and 

 unigeminal in the rest of the zones ; ambulacra narrow above, wide below, with two rows 

 of large tubercles, twelve in each ; inter-ambulacra with two rows of primary tubercles in 

 tlie middle of the area, secondary tubercles wanting in young specimens, and only slightly 

 developed in the largest tests ; miliary zone wide, depressed, and naked above, narrow 

 and granular below ; mouth-opening small and circular ; peristome with shallow entailles ; 

 discal opening large, and widely pentagonal. 



Dimensions. — Height eight tenths of an inch ; transverse diameter one inch and eight 

 tenths. 



Description. — This Urchin resembles C. Koni^i in so many points of structure, the 

 absence or rudimentary condition of the secondary tubercles excepted, that it may pro- 

 bably be only a variety of that species. It has, however, been treated by different sys-
