Diagnosis. — Test large, sub-circular, slightly pentagonal ; upper surface hemispherical, 

 more or less elevated, regularly convex above, rounded vertically on the sides, and acutely 

 angular at the border ; base nearly flat, marked by impressions which correspond to the 

 internal carina ; ambulacra one third the width of inter-ambulacra ; mouth-opening 

 central, decagonal ; vent small, oblong, basal, midway between the peristome and border. 



Dimensions. — a. Height, one inch and four tenths ; latitude, two inches and one tenth. 



b. Height, one inch and eight tenths ; latitude, two inches and two tenths. 



Description. — Whether this" common Chalk Urchin was known to Leske or not is 

 difficult to decide. My friend Professor Desor considers the notice on Echinus quater~ 

 fasciatus to refer to this species ; but a careful examination of Leske's figures leads me to 

 the conclusion that the mouth figured by that author in his PL xlvii represents some 

 species of the genus Echinoconus rather than a Discoidea, for they show no trace of
