From this a number of general observations can be made. (1) Regular echinoids and primarily epifaunal irregular echinoids (Discoides) are more uni- formly distributed throughout the section than infaunal irregular echinoids. This presumably is because, generally speaking, the nature of the substratum is more crucial to species that live.
