The Echinoderms collected by the “Huxley” from the North Side of the Bay of Biscay in August, 1906

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 October 2009

Extract

My thanks are due to Dr. Allen for permitting me to examine this collection.

In all 292 specimens were obtained, but of these 16 were young immature Asteroidea and Echinoidea. It is impossible to identify these with any degree of certainty, and I have not hazarded an opinion about them.

The remainder belong to 17 genera and 24 species. The Ophiuroidea were particularly numerous, 190 specimens belonging to that class.

The classification followed is that of Professor MacBride in the Cambridge Natural History.
