Ecuinopermata (Sea Eggs). 
It is possible that Sea Eggs contributed occasionally to the diet. of the natives. 
The relatively small species Amblypneustes pallidus Lamarck seems frequently 
washed ashore—its diameter is about one to one and a half inches. Mr. B. C. 
Cotton considers that A. grandis Clark, which is larger, may also occur there. 
Heliocidaris armigera Agassiz also probably occurs in the South-Hast. It 
approximates to the European edible urchin, and Mr. Cotton informs me is 
eaten in great numbers by Pacific gulls. 
I am indebted to Mr. B. C. Cotton for the following list of Mollusca and
