The ijjEcjhinoderms Newsletter

Mo. 6. April, 1975.

Prepared in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology (Echinoderms), National
Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
U.S.A.

In the last newsletter we solicited your comments concerning the future
of the newsletter, and asked you to suggest changes, additions, deletion etc.

We found that those who responded to this request noted that the Newsletter
was useful essentially in its present form, and should be continued* We were
encouraged to issue it on a more regular basis.

We have not included a revised address list with this issue; we plan to
do so during August or September, if all goes well. We now have an automatically
printed labeling system, so that should save a considerable amount of time.

We would like to propose at the Echinoderms Conference in Rovinj , Yugoslavia
that somebody else take over production of the newsletter. One or two people
have volunteered to assist with this, and we would like to encourage others
to do so. Our other commitments invariably result in delays in preparation
and printing, and somehow we never get around to issuing it on time.

Certainly it is a matter to be discussed seriously in Yugoslavia.

any aspect of the biology and distribution of the holothurian
Chiridota laevis i n, particular , and chiridotid holothurians in
general .

H.L . STRIMPLE would like answers to the following questions concerning ontogeny
of modern comatulid crinoids:

1. In the "cystid” stage, do the orals remain open all of
time or do they withdraw their podia or tentacles and close
their orals on occasion?

2. What is the position of the anus and the rectum in the
"cystid” stage.

3. Is there a hydroporc penetrating the posterior oral and
connected to a stone canal in the "cystid” stage? He thinks
not, but needs to ask to be certain.

TASMANIAN MUSEUM, G.P.O. Box 1164M, Hobart 7001, Tasmania, Australia, would
