ECHINOCARDIUM PENNATIFIDUM. 267 



cation contained no adequate description, but if that is true, it is equally true 

 of the publication in 1868; the latter contains nothing of importance not in the 

 earlier paper, except the direct reference to Barrett's figure published in 1857, 

 and even that is virtually given in 1867. There is no desciiption in either report, 

 but the information given in 1867 is sufficient to identify the species, which is a 

 characteristic British form, known only from the Faeroe Islands and the west 

 coast of Denmark to the Bay of Biscay, in 1-150 fms.
