268 THE FOSSIL ECHINOIDEA 



of Kachh and Kattywar (plate xii, fig. 2). . The posterior nipping-in of the test is, how- 

 -ever, very decided in the Nari forms ; the number of large tubercles is considerable, and 

 there is a fasciole on one part of the flank of the test, which is very distinct. It is not 

 continuous, however, 



Actinally the marginal tuberculation ends towards the posterior ambulacrum 

 suddenly, and large tubercles come in. The bare space of the smooth plastron and 

 ambulacra is dotted here and there with distinct miliaries, which are about the same 

 size as those which are scattered between the large actinal tubercles.

There are several! specimens of the genus in the collection from Nari, but unfor- 

 tunately their condition of preservation is unsatisfactory. It is evident, however, that 

 Schizaster Granti, nobis, which is so largely represented in Kattywar, in strata higher 

 than the Nummulitic, and which are Miocene in age, is present in the Nari series*.

IV. Remarks on the Species. 



The Cidaris has a truly Sindian facies. 



The Coelopleuri belong to two species which have been described by-d'Archiac 

 and Haim'e as coming from the Nummulitic of Sind. These are CodopVeurus equis, 

 a European form, and Ccelopleurus Pratti, closely allied and only known in Western 

 India. 



The interest of these forms has been greatly increased by the descriptions of the 

 living species by Alex. Agassiz. 



In Ccelopleurus Maillardi, Mich., collected during the ' Challenger ' Expedition, 

 the spines, like those of the West-Indian species Ccelopleurus floridanus, are extra- 

 ordinarily long; but in both species, as in the fossil forms, the tubercles are non-
