I also take it to be doubtful whether the specimens from Prince Edward Island are Ech. magellanicus; at all events they will have to be exa- mined more thoroughly with regard to the characters mentioned here. That this species is found at Australia and New-Zealand I must also regard as doubtful, until renewed, thorough examinations have confirmed these statements. To be sure, Farquhar (144) enumerates Ech. magellanicus among the Echinids of New-Zealand, but it may, perhaps, be Ech. albociuctus, which, in a communication from Prof. Hutton, is said to be the same species. That this statement is incorrect will be shown hereafter. Perhaps also Ech. daruleyensis may be hidden among the Australian Echinids referred to Ech. magel- lanicus, as has been supposed by Woods (442. p. 165). For the present Ech. magellanicus is only known with certainty from the coasts of Patagonia and the adjoining seas. â Some small specimens from Chall. st. 308 (Patagonia), by Agassiz referred to Ech. norvegicus, are magellanicus. Echinus albocinctus Hutton. A specimen of an Echinus-species from New-Zealand which from earlier times is found in the museum of Copenhagen, must, no doubt, be referred to this species, as it agrees exactly with the description. The description by Hutton, however, is far from being exhaustive â what may be appli
