PRELIMINARY 
LIST OF THE ECHINODERMATA 
OF THE 
NORTH-EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND, 
By GEO. SIM. 
Tue following is offered not as a complete catalogue of the 
Echinodermata of the north-east coast of Scotland, but merely as 
list of such local species as the writer has identified beyond doubt. 
Others there are, the names of which have not been determined ; 
but it has been considered better to exclude all such from the 
list. The arrangement and nomenclature followed is in accord- 
ance with that excellent publication, the Revised List of British 
Ophiuroidea, by W. E. Hoyle, naturalist to the “Challenger ” 
‘Commission, in so far as it extends—z.e., to the end of the Ophiu- 
vide, the remainder being taken from Forbes’ History of 
British Starfish. Yn order to make the list useful to those not in 
possession of Mr. Hoyle’s paper, Forbes’ names are placed on the 
tight of each page in italics :— 
ASTROPHYTID. 
Astronyx Lovéni. Mill. and Tr.
