S. varispina. The specimen is also intermediate in size between tlie speci- 

 mens o? S. varispina collected. The arrangement of the ambulacral plates as 

 far as we can judge from the figures of Loven/ is similar to that of Salenia 

 PaMersoni (PI. 20, fig. 5).

In PI. 21, fig. 1, we can see a small triangular plate at the actinostome 

 in the median interambulacral zone, — very probabl}' the remnant of the 

 primitive primordial plate. No trace of primordial plates could be traced in 

 Salenia miliaris. 



In none of the young stages of Salenia varispina, Fig. 51 ; mi/iaris, Fig. 52 ; 

 Pattersoni, Fig. 53, and hastigera, Fig. 54, do any of the ocular plates come

in contact with the anal system, while in the young Acrosalenia spinosa, 

 Fig. 55, of 7, and Fig. 56, of 9 mm., the ocular plate of the right posterior 

 ambulacral is well in contact by one of its sides with the anal system 

 (PI. 22, fig. 5). Compare this with the figures of the apical system of a
