Mr. Keeping made his description from such fragments 

 that the species' claim to validity does not rest on a firm basis. 

 As Prof. Morris justly remarked in the discussion following 

 the reading of Mr. Keeping's paper, ** the specimen was in too 

 imperfect a state of preservation to show whether the valleys 

 described by the author as dividing the ambulacral areas 

 really existed."
