XIV. ECHINODERMA. 
some unfortunately not figured, are described in the otherwise mag¬ 
nificently illustrated monograph of Jaekel (130). Two new British 
Blastoidea are described by Whidborxe (250), and a complete Index to 
the genera and species of this Class has been issued by the British 
Museum (26). Finally, the lists of new Echinoderms of various Classes 
are notably increased by the veteran P. de Loriol (154, 155). 
The additions to our systematic lists may be analysed thus :—

The list may not be correct, and, even as it stands, contains elements of 
doubt, due to the extreme difficulty of deciding in some cases whether the 
name in question is really new, or put forward as new, and whether it is 
intended for a species or a variety, a genus or a sub-genus. If the author 
himself knows what he means, is it too much to ask that he should pass 
the information on to his readers ? Here again is the Editor’s opportunity. 
This Introduction began by remarking on the quantity of literature 
relative to Echinoderms produced during the year 1899. The condensed 
and imperfect summary that has been given, shows that the quality of 
the work also stands at a high level. 
In the following Record personal remarks by the Recorder are placed, as 
heretofore, in square brackets. 
CORRIGENDA (in Record of Echinoderma in Vol. xxxv). 
The following additions and corrections should be made in the Record 
for 1898 :— 
p. 10. bottom of page, as No. 48 (omitted) insert Doederlein (77) of 
present Record. 
p. 22. Nos. 174, 175 Pomel, for correct dates see under Pomel p. 26 
of this Record. 
p. 26. No. 221. Ami in Ottawa Nat. xiii, p. 55, gives date of issue as 
July, 1899, thus bringing the choice up to seven, 
p. 39. hi, b, ii, d & e, should be d & f.
