grains between the plates both in the median line and along 

 the sides, snch grains are here not found on the sides between 

 the three last pairs of plates, and in the median line the grains 

 cease at the last pair of plates but one, only a small separate 

 group of grains being found between the last and the last but 

 one pair. 



This specimen reminds somewhat of P. simplex Verrill 

 (Distribution of the Echinoderms of Northeastern America. Amer. 

 Journ. Sc. 49. 1895. p. 135), but does not agree exactly with 

 the — not very detailed — description. In spite of the diffe- 

 rences here pointed out it must evidently be referred to P. 

 granulans. 



This species had not previously been recorded from these 

 regions; but as it is known from N. America as well as from 

 the European coast, it is not surprising that it has now been 

 found also at East Greenland.
