Echinoidea , from the Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks of France; the new 
Asteroklea, from the E. Atlantic ; the new Ophiuroklsa , from the Indian 
Ocean ; the new Crinoidea and Cystidccl , from the Carboniferous rocks of 
N. America. 
The exactitude of this list is probably vitiated by the vagaries of those 
authors who are unable to tell us, or to tell us truly, whether the species 
they describe are old or new, and who delight to throw their readers off 
the scent by following a different method of quotation and description on 
every page. Among these bugbears of the recorder are to be reckoned 
two of the most eminent living writers on Echinoderms. 
The arrangement of the Systematic Division, and indeed of the whole 
Echinoderm Record, follows the plan already laid down by previous 
recorders and editors. It is capable of great improvement, but changes 
must be gradual. Meanwhile they who desire a grouping under Orders 
and Families, may be asked how they would put, let us say, Perrier's new 
wine, No. 92, into Sladen’s old bottles; or whether they think a blending 
with the Rhenish of Stiirtz, No. 115, would make the mixture more easy 
on the stomach. Should they further complain that the Recorder does not 
take it on himself to decide which are genera and which subgenera, 
they may be asked whether, in their classification of the species of 
Cidaridce , they would follow Schlueter (236, Zool. Rec. 1893), Lambert 
(57), Cotteau (23), or, possibly, Jeffrey Bell (16, Zool. Rec. 1893). There 
are enough critics ; a recorder’s business is to record.
