This view is favoured by the fact that some specimens do not appear 
to belong to any of these types, but to an intermediate one. 
An interesting point in connexion with EL. Smelli is that several 
have, in the right anterior part of the test, a curious asymmetric 
bulge. In some it is very marked, in others it is hardly noticeable, 
and in others, again, it is absent. Since it is not diagnostic of the 
species, it is probably due to conditions of pressure under which 
the animal has been preserved. If so, it is remarkable,that the 
right anterior portion of the test should be affected in every case. 
It is apparent to a slight extent in Figs. 2b and 30.

Fics. 2, 3, 4b.—Outlines of same specimens from above. Less than nat. size. 
Distribution.—Collected by Dr. Smellie from Senonian beds in the 
following localities: Shakarau, Warriz, Atash Gah, Anjir, Anerun, 
Pire Mahommed, Tang-i-Tima, Qayah, Kabir Kuh 1, 2, and 3. 
Affinities —E. Smellii differs from all others except EL. aquitanicus 
d’Orbigny, 1853 (Pal. franc. Terr. Cret., 6, p. 199, pl. 863), by the 
absence of an anterior sulcus. It shows a close resemblance to 
E. aquitanicus, but differs therefrom by having (1) the pores in 
the paired ambulacral areas set obliquely, (2) the granules in the 
ambulacral areas not extending to the median suture, (3) the pore- 
pairs in the unpaired ambulacra round, and further apart than in 
FE. aquitanicus, (4) the largest tubercles on the adambulacral parts 
of the interambulacral areas and on the inferior surface.
