REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
Fauna have appeared ; while, in Germany, works of the same descrip- 
tion can hardly be provided with the most necessary figures. 
Forbes divides the EcTiinodermata, according to their organs of motion, 
into six orders, which correspond with the divisions hitherto in use. — 
1. PiNNiGRADA ( CrinoidecB ) : of these Comatula rosacea, L. {mediter- 
ranea, Lam.), only is a native of the English coast. Pentacrinus euro- 
pceus, Thomps., is nothing but a young Comatula. — 2. Spinigrada 
(Ophiuridce). Forbes enumerates the following; OpMura texturata, 
Lam. ; alhida, F orb., which has been declared by Muller and Troschel to be 
Ophiolepis ciliata ; Ophiocoma neglecta, Johnst. (Ophiolepis squamata, 
Miill. and Tr.) ; Ballii, Thomps. ; punctata, Forb. ; filiformis, Miill. ; 
hrachiata. Montag. ; granulata. Link ; helUs, Flem. ; Goodsiri, Forb. 
(according to Muller and Troschel, perhaps identical with Oph. Ballii ) ; 
rosula. Link ; minuta, Forb. ; the last two species have been referred 
by Muller and Troschel to Ophiothrix fragilis ; Astrophyton scuta- 
tum, Forb., which is perhaps Astroph. Linhii, Mull, and Tr. — 3. Cirrhi- 
GRADA (Asteriadce) : Uraster glacialis, Agass. ; ruhens, Ag. ; violacea, 
Miill. ; hispida, Penn. ; Crihella oculata, Penn. ; rosea, Miill. ; Solaster 
papposus, L. ; endeca, L. ; Palmipes membranaceus, Petz. ; Asterina 
gibbosa, Penn. ; Goniaster Templetoni, Thomp. ; equestris, Gm. {Astro- 
gonium phrygianum, Miill. and Tr.) ; Asterias aurantiaca, L. ; Luidia 
fragilissima, Forb. — 4. Cirrhispinigrada (Echinidce) : Cidaris papil- 
lata, Lesk. ; Echinus miliaris, Lesk. ; sphcera, Miill. ; Flemingii, Ball ; 
lividus, Lam. ; neglectus, Lam. ; Echinocyamus pusillus, Miill. ; Echi~ 
norachinus placenta, Gm. ; Spatangus purpureus, Miill. ; Brissus ly- 
rifer, Forb. ; Amphidotus cordatus, Penn. ; roseus, Forb. — 5. Cirrhi- 
VERMIGRADA {Holothuriadcc) Psolus phantapus, L. ; Psolinus brevis, 
Forb. and Goods. ; Cacumaria frondosa, Grun. ; pentactes, Miill. ; 
communis, Forb. and Goods.; fusiformis, Forb. and Goods.; hyalina, 
Forb. ; Drummondii, Thomps. ; Hyndmani, Thomp. ; fucicola, F. and 
G. ; Ocnus brunneus, Forb.; lacteus, F. and G. ; Thyone papillosa, 
Miill. ; Portlockii, Forb. ; Chirodota digitata, Montagu. — 6. Vermi- 
GRADA (Sipunculidce) : Syrinx nudus, L. ; papillosus, Thomps. ; Harveii, 
Forb. ; Sipunculus bernhardus, Forb. ; Johnstoni, Forb. ; Pria pulus 
caudatus, Lam. ; ThalassemaNeptuni, Gaertn. ; Echiurus vulgaris, Sav. 
A. Hill Hassall has ofiered a contribution to the Marine Fauna of 
Ireland (Ann. Nat. Hist. ix. p. 132). He has enumerated Comatula 
rosacea, with ten species of Asteriadce, Spatangus purpureus. Echinus 
sphcera, Amphidotus cordatus, and Echinocyamus pusillus, as pre- 
sent in the Bay of Dublin. 
We are indebted to Grube for a very valuable contribution to the 
distribution of the Echinodermata, in the Adriatic and Mediterra- 
nean Seas (Actinien, Echinodermen, und Wiirmer des Adriatischen und 
Mittel-Meeres, 1840, p. 14). The following Crinoidce, Ophiuridce, and
