Extract

The purpose of this note is to call attention to the occurrence of a Chalk sea-urchin, apparently hitherto unrecorded from England, in the hope that field-workers may be able by collecting to determine its zonal range and importance, if any, as a zonal guide. Since it resembles superficially both the common Offaster pilula (Lamarck), and also very small specimens of Echinocorys scutatus Leske, it has possibly escaped recognition.
