 from the main line ; poriferous zones narrow, and strictly unigeminal ; inter-ambulacra 

 twice as wide as the ambulacra, with two rows of primary tubercles, nine in each 

 row, placed near the centre of the plates ; the bosses surrounded by distinct areolas, 

 complete circles of small granules encircle them ; near the base, some of the 

 granules attain the size of secondary tubercles, with perforated summits ; the tubercles of 

 both areas small and nearly of the same size, those of the inter-ambulacra a little larger 

 than those of the ambulacra ; apical disc small ; the ocular plates extend beyond the

 granules ; tubercles of both areas small and nearly of the same size ; spines long, slender ;
