). Proximal and distal surfaces are broadly flat, with a gentle depression for passage of the tube feet. The head, shaft and base are poorly differentiated, and the heads imbricate slightly proximally. The dentition comprises two to three coarse ridges and grooves set obliquely to the long axis of the ossicles. Abtam and actam insertion sites are small and inconspicuous. A well-developed depression for lim is seen on the adradial, abactinal portion of the ossicles. The articulation surfaces for the adambulacrals are set on the actinal, abradial margins of the ambulacrals, on either side of an arched margin. The abradial articulation structures (ada1b, ada3) are set on one side of this arch, the adradial ones (ada2, ada1a) on the other. The ambulacrals taper very rapidly to the abradial margin, and the part of the ambulacral base involved in adambulacral articulation is consequently very short. The ambulacrals have a very prominent crest on the abradial, abactinal margin, similar to that in
