Echinus acutus, Lamk. Gen. dist. Plymouth Gnds. 15 to 35 fm., commoner in deeper water where it replaces E. esculentus (M.B.A.) ; Pol- perro, trawl refuse Mevagissey! locally Falmouth B. ; one spec.

Penzance at all depths, weed gatherers often collecting numbers in from I to z fm. (Tregelles) ; c. at Scilly, where in April, 1904, spines in remark- able abund. were found in the sand in depressions among the lower rocks on Outer Innisvouls ! [E. melo, Lamk. Forbes (Rep. Brit. Assoc. 1855, p. 153) speaks of an Echinus found by Peach on the Cornish coast as 'apparently identical with E. melo of the Mediterranean,' but doubt has been expressed as to the occurrence of this species in the British Isles.] 42.

Dr. Cocks recorded a few from Falmouth, but the only publication of importance on the subject is 'The Turbellaria of Plymouth Sound,' by Dr. F. W. Gamble (Journ. Marine Biol. dssoc. iii). The following is a list of the species recorded by Dr. Gamble, all of which were obtained in the Plymouth district.
