‘ The specimens forwarded to Vienna are authentic examples of 
Gregory’s species, which Mr. Bittner seems to find sufficient indi- 
vidual characters in them to make a new species. Whether or 
not there is good foundation for the creation of a new genus, 
I have no desire at present to discuss, but I must strongly pro- 
test against such reckless species-making. 
ECHINOLAMPAS GAMBIERIENSIS, Z'en.- Woods. 
? Echinolampas Morgan, Cotteau. 
I question very much if there be more than one species of this 
genus in the River Murray Cliffs, but being unacquainted with 
Cotteau’s diagnosis of his new species, I can only cast a doubt on 
its validity. My knowledge of #. Gambieriensis is very exten- 
sive, as the species is common, though the possible occurrence of 
a second species must be admitted.

H. difficilis, Duncan, regarded by me asa crushed H. Aus- 
tralie, is erected by Pomel into a new genus with the name 
Corystus.

Cyclaster lycoperdon, Bittner, op. cit., t. 4, figs. 1, 2, p. 360. 
’ Cyclaster Morgani, Cotteau. 
Of this familiar echinoid of the River Murray Cliffs two 
examples were sent to Vienna under the name of Brissopsis 
Archeri, Woods; and because Mr. Bittner had no knowledge 
that the species had been diagnosed he substitutes a new 
designation.* 
Bittner admits that Micraster brevistella, Laube, is congeneric 
with his new species, but I have already shown that Woods’ 
name has priority ; as to Cotteau’s Cyclaster Morgani, there is 
good reason to believe that it belongs to the same species. 
* Unter dem Namen Brissopsis Archeri, Woods, welcher meines Wissens 
nicht publicirt worden ist (sic ).
