iii. Twelve miles east of Kandaira. Survey-number -^. (Two specimens so' 

 much crushed and obscured as to be almost unrecognizable. Possibly they may 

 represent a variety.)

There is in the collection a single specimen of a small subglobular test which 

 we refer to Hemiaster ; but the fossil is so badly preserved and obscured with matrix 

 that even the generic determination is doubtful. It is certainly distinct from any of 

 the other Indian species, and on this account we have included this very unsatisfactory 

 specimen on Plate XXXV. The marginal contour is suboval or subglobular, with the 

 anterior margin moderately indented by the anteal sulcus, and the lateral portions of 

 the test very tumid ; the posterior extremity is roundly truncate, and when seen in 

 longitudinal profile is high and almost vertical, the periproct being situated near the 

 summit of the extremity. The lateral portions of the test are high and tumid, 

 both laterally and dorsally. The odd posterior interradium is likewise tumid in the 

 latter region. Traces of a peripetalous fasciole are discernible, but the test is too 

 much destroyed by weather-action for any statement respecting the presence or absence 

 of other fascioles to be made. No other details of structure or form can be observed. 



Dimensions. Length of the test 24 millim., breadth 22*5 millim., height 17 

 millim. 



Locality. In the Khirthar series. Twenty-four miles west of Kotri (entering the 



Hills on the road to Bula Khan's Thana). Survey-number -^g--

6. Hemiastbe, sp. 



There is another test of a small Echinoid in a very bad state of preservation which 

 we refer to this genus. The marginal contour has some resemblance to that of the 

 preceding "specimen, but the form is abactinally much more depressed. In general
