Eeport on the Echinodermata collected by Mr. Eraneis Day in 

 H.M.S. ' Triton ' off the Eastern Coast of Scotland in July 

 1882. By Prof. E. Jeeeeet Bell, M.A., E.E.M.S. (Com- 

 municated by E. Dat, E.L.S.) 



[Eead December 21, 1882.] 



A SOMEWHAT large collection of Echinodermata was made, Spa- 

 tangus purpureus and Asterias violacea being very abundantly 

 represented, as was also Echinus elegans, of which a very large 

 number of small (though not one large) specimens were taken ; 

 entangled in the spines of many of these last were small egg- 

 cases with unfertilized ova within. The Ophiurids are only six 

 in number ; and the single Holothurian is not in a condition for 

 determination.
