Notes to Cidaris. 



Test round, mucli inflated at the sides, and depressed at both poles ; ambulacral areas 

 narrow, elevated, and sinuous, with two marginal rows of granules set on basal eminences* 

 and in the widest part of the area, two other rows of very small granules, without basal 

 eminences, the middle rows disappear at both ends of the areas : inter-ambulacral areas 

 wide, with two rows of primary tubercles, from six to seven in each column ; areolas rather 

 oblong, and surrounded by a prominent elevated scrobicular circle of well-spaced-out 

 granules, set on shield-like bases ; miliary zone wide, concave, and filled with several rows
