visit to Malta. 
Eupatagus similis. Ovate, depressed, with only two or three 
rather larger tubercles near the peripetalous fasciole. 
Hab. Australia, Flinder’s Island. 
This species differs from EL. Valenciennesit of Agassiz, t. 15. f.3, in 
not having nearly so many tubercles on the back. Several speci- 
mens of it were sent to the Museum by Joseph Milligan, Esq. 
Lovenia elongata. Spatangus elongatus, Gray, in Kyre’s Discov. 
Central Australia, i. 436, t.6. f. 2. Ovate, rather elongate, de- 
pressed; back with many sunken tubercles on the sides, : 
Hab. Port Essington, Mr. Jukes. 
Lovenia subcarinata. Shell elongate, narrow, the lower anterior 
edge keeled, the lower part of the upper side with six or eight large 
tubercles placed in two series on each side at the end of the anterior 
lateral ambulacra. 
Hab. Philippines, Isle of Luzon, H. Cuming, Esq. 
Ecuinocarpium. This genus may be divided into the following 
sections :— 
* Anterior odd ambulacral groove deep, hinder end perpendicular, 
lower part blunt. 
Fichinocardium cordatum, &c. To this section also belong— 
Echinocardium australe. Very like E. cordatum, but the hinder 
end is erect and the lower edge rather acute. 
Hab. Australia, Port Jackson, J. B. Jukes, Esq.; Van Diemen’s 
Land, Ronald Gunn, Esq., and Dr. A. Sinclair. 
Echinocardium zealandicum. Very like the former, but plastron 
lanceolate elongate, and the body more ovate and elongate. 
Hab. New Zealand, Dr. Andrew Sinclair: several specimens. 
** Anterior odd ambulacral groove shallow, lower part of hinder end 
produced, acute. EK. gibbosum.

t. 82., 1825. S. Crue Andree, Lamk. Hist.; Agassiz, Ann. Sci. 
Nat. vi. t. 16. f. 14. Large tubercles on sides of lateral ambulacra 
few, internal fasciole short, broad. 
Hab. Port Jackson. 
Dr. Leach’s specimen exactly agrees with M. Agassiz’ figure. 
Breynia Desorit. Sunken tubercles on the lateral and posterior 
interambulacral area numerous (about thirty), the internal fasciole 
elongate, narrow. ~ 
Hab. Swan River. 
Several specimens, all differing in the above characters from the 
former. 
Meoma. Shell subcordate, vertex subeentral ; ambulacra sunken, 
lateral pairs equal, odd anterior one entirely obliterated, marked by a 
shallow groove, surrounded by a very sinuous peripetalous fasciole, 
without any lateral fasciole ; subanal fasciole incomplete, edging 
the under side of the indistinct subanal disk, and only extending up 
to the level of the lower edge of the vent and with the subanal pores 
in the fasciole. ; 
This genus differs from Brissus in the incompleteness of the 
subanal fasciole, the indistinctness of the subanal disk, and in the 
entire absence of the anterior ambulacral pores. it differs from
