Develop- ment takes place with a Pluteus larval stage, in which the larva is pro\'ided Avith ciliated epaulettes or with an apical rod. The Sea-urchins live, as a rule, near the coast, and feed on molluscs, small marine animals, and Fuci. Some species of Echinus have the power of boring holes in the rocks in which they live. We find many fossil shells, especially in the Fig. iZ^.—Brlssopsie lynfera with the fascioles or Semites surround- ing the rosette. A, anus. Order 1.—Cidaeidea=Regular Sea-uechixs.
