SALENIA CINCTA. 5 



)i 



to their nearly straight outer sides they scarcely project beyond the general 

 line of the genital ring. 



The tridentate and quadridentate pedicellariae are entirely wanting in 

 all the specimens examined. The ovoid pedicellarias are very small, the 

 valves (PI. 45, fig. ^<?) less than .20 mm. long and the stalk little longer; they 

 are very scarce, and appear to be confined to the vicinity of the actinostome. 

 The globose pedicellariae are also very small, the valves (PI. 45, fig. 22) 

 measuring only .15-.25 mm., but the stalk is in proportion noticeably long, 

 .25-50 mm. They are rather infrequent, occurring only near the ocular 

 plates, along the ambulacra and on the actinostomal plates.

Four valid species of this genus may now be recognized, although they 

 are very closely related, and young specimens are very difficult to identify. 

 In the order of their discovery these species are as follows : S. varispina
