24 FOSSIL ECHINI OF THE WEST INDIES. 



by Cotteau, in the collections that I have seen, only two species occurred, 

 namely, Echinometra prisca and one other which is provisionally placed 

 here. 



The specimen here described is so much worn that it is not certain 

 what the species is, yet it shows a good many characters worth record- 

 ing. Test circular, low, rounded, dome-shaped, flattened on the lower 

 side; ambulacral plates narrow, compound; the pores in arcs of 3 

 pairs to each plate ; interambulacra twice the width of the ambulacra 

 at the mid-zone. The surface of the test is so worn that while sutures 

 can be made out, no external characters are retained. Genital and 

 ocular plates are in place, and though indistinct, the genitals appar- 

 ently meet in a ring, shutting out the oculars from the periproct. 

 Height of specimen 13 mm., diameter 29 mm.
