ECHINIDiE, 



RECENT AND FOSSIL, 



OF SOUTH-CAROLINA, 

 JANUARY, 1848. 



The following Catalogue may serve to direct attention to the 

 species of Echinidae now known on our shores, and in our 

 strata. 



We have fragments, and spines of several species, from the 

 Eocene and Miocene Deposits, not sufficiently perfect to enable 

 us to determine them. From the Miocene we have fragments 

 and numerous spines, of two species, of Echinus, probably ; and 

 from the Eocene, fragments of a large species allied to Diadema, 

 and many spines probably of other Genera. 



Several species here named are new, the descriptions of which, 

 will be published with figures, in the Report of the Geological 

 Survey of the State of South-Carolina, by Prof. Tuomey, now 

 in the hands of the publisher. 



The Pericosmus Spatiosus, a large species is here named from 

 an imperfect cast and numerous fragments ; when more perfect 

 specimens are obtained, it may be necessary to remove it from 

 its present position.
