334 Verrill, Notes on Badiata. 



Echinoglycus Stokesii Gray, Panama! etc. 

 Encope occidentalis Verrill, Panama ! etc. 



In this list are 14 species, of which 6 do not appear to have been 

 found on the xA.merican coast, and three others are doubtful ; 4 occur 

 at Panama, and are species of wide range along the coast, while He- 

 liaster Cumingii is found at Zorritos and Paita. '■'' Echinus gibbosus^'' 

 if correctly identified, occurs also at Paita and Callao. 



This list, though very incomplete, indicates that the Echinoderm 

 fauna of the Galapagos is of a mixed character, having the closest, 

 relations with that of Panama Bay, but at the same time including 

 species belonging to the more temperate waters of Peru, and a large 

 proportion that are peculiar to the group. Most of the peculiar spe- 

 cies resemble Pacific and East Indian forms rather than American. 

 Such are the species of Amblypneustes^ Temnopleurus, Culcita^ — 

 genera which have not been found upon either the East or West coast 

 of America. On the contrary, Seliaster, Echinocidaris, Lytechinus^ 

 Echinoglycus, Encope are very characteristic American genera.
