ECHINODERMATA. 
Tn East Finmark the Echinodermata are very fully repre- 
sented; but the percentage of species found by myself in 
this class is much less than in those classes with which I 
-have already dealt. The reason is obvious. I did not employ 
the instruments most suitable for their capture, namely, 
either a trawl or wide-meshed dredge. As usual, I was more 
intent on the smaller and generally less studied animals, and 
my fine dredge-bag, quickly filling with mud, passed over 
comparatively little ground; and therefore the capture of 
many of the larger animals, such as Echinodermata, was not 
to be expected. 
I propose in dealing with the Echinodermata to depart 
from the rule which I have observed in previous parts of 
these notes of only giving the names of Hast Finmark 
species which had not been found by myself, and to briefly 
indicate their locality and its authority. The authorities on 
whom I have relied are as follows :— 
1. DANIELSSEN (D. C.).—“ Beretning om en zoologisk Reise foretagen 
en Sommeren 1857,” Nyt Mag. for Naturvidenskaberne, vol. xi. 
1861, p. 1. 
2. SARS ‘Moura = Oversigt af Norges Echinodermer,’ 1861. 
3. DANIELSSEN (D. C.) and Kormn (A.).—(a) Holothuroidea, (6) As- 
teroidea, (e) Echinoidea, in ‘The Norwegian North-Atlantic 
Expedition, 1876-1878.’ 1882, 1884, and 1892. 
4. Griee (J. A.).—Ophiuroidea in ‘The Norwegian North-Atlantic 
Expedition, 1876-1878. 1893. The word ‘ Véringen’ in the 
following notes, which was the name of the vessel employed, 
indicates that the authority is in the Norwegian North-Atlantic 
Expedition Reports. 
«. Grine (J. A.).—“ Oversigt over det nordlige Norges Echinodermer,” 
Bergens Museum Aarbog, 1902. 
6. OsTERGREN (HyaLMar).—‘ The Holothuroidea of Northern Nor- 
way,” Bergens Museum Aarbog (1902), 1903, p. 3. 
A full account of the distribution of the species and full 
synonymy will be found in the treatises on the different 
orders in Romer and Schaudin’s ‘ Fauna Arctica.’
