Through the kindness of Professor Sedgwick, I have been enabled to examine the 

 type specimen of this urchin, which forms part of the geological collection of the University 

 of Cambridge. It proves to be a bad specimen of an Acrosalenia, with the test so much 

 defaced as to be specifically indeterminable. It unquestionably was collected from the 

 shelly beds of the Great Oolite of Minchinhampton. This species must now therefore be 

 omitted from the list of Hemicidaris.
