Geographical Distribution and Local Lists, 
VEaaii^i^ [h c. pp. 323-351) gives a very elaborate account of 
the geographical distribution of the Echinoderms of the west 
coast of America. The faunal divisions indicated by the infor- 
mation already received would appear to be the following : — 
Sitchian, Oregonian, Californian, Panaman, Galapagos (perhaps 
this should be united to the Panama province) , Peruvian, Chilian, 
Araucanian, and Fuegian. 
A comparison is also instituted between the tropical faunse of 
the east and west coasts of America ; and very complete lists of 
the species found on both coasts are given side by side (pp. 341- 
347). These lists contain 125 species from the Caribbean and 
82 from the Panaman fauna; and, excluding the Holothurians, 
it would appear that no species has ever been indicated as com- 
mon to the two coasts. The apparent absence of Comatulidse 
and other Crinoidea from the Panaman fauna is very curious. 
Species may, however, yet be discovered. However interesting 
the details of this portion of Professor VerrilFs paper, space will 
not allow us to give it in further detail. 
Eev. A. Merle Norman records (Brit. Assoc. Eeport, 1866, 
p. 195) the following Echinoderms as taken in the Hebrides : — ■ 
Antedon rosaceuSf Linck, and A. celticus, Barrett. The latter species was 
found in the Minch, living gregariously in about sixty fathoms ; it was also 
met with in Sleat Sound, but sparingly.
