Extract

Echinarachnius Woodi was founded by Forbes in his “Monograph of the Echinodermata of the British Tertiaries” on two fragments from the Red Crag of Suffolk; of all the species described in that work, this has been regarded as the most interesting and problematical. As this species certainly belonged to a genus now foreign to the British or European seas, it was felt, that if its correct generic position could be determined, it and Temnechinus would indicate the true affinities of the Crag Echinoderm fauna, better than the cosmopolitan genera with which they were associated.
