 the tubercles in the unigeminal and bigeminal groups.

Test circular, depressed ; ambulacral tubercles smaller than those of the inter-ambu- 

 lacral areas ; plates of the test covered with a small, wide-set, prominent granulation ; 

 mouth large and decagonal ; anal opening large ; apical disc of moderate size. 



Dimensions. — Height, one fourth of an inch ; transverse diameter, six tenths of an 

 inch. 



Description. — There is much difficulty in distinguishing some of the smaller Diademas 

 from each other, inasmuch as the young condition of many of the larger species so closely 

 resembles the adult state of others, that it is only after obtaining a number of individuals 

 of different species in the various phases of their growth, that the naturalist feels himself
