ORDER III.—SPATANGOIDS (Heart-urchins). • In these the body, flat below, arched above, has a heart- shaped outline, and both mouth and vent are eccentric in position upon the lower surface. The ambulacra are all on the upper surface, but the anterior row is lacking. CLASS V.— HOLOTHURIDEA (SEA-CUCUMBERS). The Holothurians are cylindrical Echinoderms, with mouth and vent at the ends of the body, and usually with the ambulacra scattered over the surface in such a way as to make the comparison with a cucumber most apt.
