Synopsis
Excerpt from On Some Remarkable Forms of Animal Life: From the Great Deeps Off the Norwegian Coast, Researches on the Structure and Affinity of the Genus, Brisinga, Based on the Study a New Species: Brisinga Coronata
I can here add that the present species has been found also during the expeditions recently organised by the British Government in many places in the great deeps of the Atlantic Ocean, and has been likewise recognised by the chief leader of these expeditions Professor Wyville Thompson, whose thorough acquaintance. With the Echinoderms is univers ally acknowledged, as a species distinct from the form first discovered Brisinga endecacnemos. In a'recent very interesting work by the naturalist mentioned, on the results'of these expedi tions entitled: The depths of the Sea, Brisinga coronata will be found briefly described under this name proposed by me, with a beautiful woodcut of the animal seen from 'above.
