Abstract
THE author of this valuable memoir has had the advantage of studying more than two thousand specimens of the species included in the families Synaptidæ and Molpodadiidæ, and he has taken the opportunity of collecting together in the form of a handsome volume the information we possess concerning all the species of this interesting group. There, are three coloured and ten monochrome plates of figures, illustrating the form and anatomy of the different species, of which several are original, and the others copied from the works of Semper, Theel, Sluiter, and other zoologists. Eight new genera are described, and a new generic name is proposed for an old genus. The monograph will undoubtedly be of great service to all those who are interested in the study of the Echinodermata.
