PROF. F. J. BELL ON ECHINODERMATA [Feb 15, 



Journal of the Linnean Society ^ ; with the contents of this paper 

 the reports of Prof. Duncan, Dr. H. Carpenter, and Mr. Sladen on 

 the other groups of Mergui Echinodeims should, on their pubHca- 

 tion, be consulted. 



I have tried to arrange the information to be given in the shortest 

 and clearest way possible, giving first a list of the species, then 

 remarks on those to which it is important to direct special attention.

 I hope to have soon, a larger series before me. 



Crinoidea. 

 Antedon, sp. 



This Antedon is represented also in the collection made at Mergui 



^ J. L. S. xxi. p. 25 ; the wbole of vol. xxi. of that Journal will be devoted 

 to tbe fauna of Mergui. 



^ Prof. Loven assures me tbat I was quite Tvrong in ascribing to Bruzelius 

 the tract that bears his name (Ann. N. H. (5) ix. p. 166).
