Largely ignoring all that has been shown as regards the development of the interamliulacrum in Palaeozoic and later types, Mortensen says (p. 107): " if the monoserial condition of the Echinoid interambulacra really were the primitive condition, distinct signs thereof would exist in the young stages of the skeletal de^'; I agree with him.
