X1. is a well-marked groove proceeding inwards to the peristome. This groove receives lateral branches on its course which traverse the adjacent interambulacral regions. The purpose of these grooves will be explained later. The interambulacral regions do not reach the peristome, which is entirely surrounded by the ambulacral areas. The ambulacral and interambulacral areas both consist of somewhat large hexagonal plates, except in the region of the respiratory tube-feet. Here the pore-plates are not united with one another. This region in each radius is termed.
