Contact with these bristles causes the small muscles at the base of the valve to contract, thus closing the valves and injecting the venom into the skin of the victim. One of the primary functions of pedicellariae is that of defense. When the sea urchin is at rest in calm water, the valves are gener- ally extended, moving slowly about, awaiting prey. When a foreign body comes in contact with them, it is immediately seized.

Tlie pedicellariae are similar to those of the starfish, but are more fully developed, having three pinchers instead of two. The food consists largely of green algoe and brown seaweed, for the sea-urchin is a vegetable feeder, though it eats small marine animals also. Digestive System.—There are five hard white teeth with which they gnaw their food. These teeth are connected with a. Fig. 4.5—Strongylocentrotus drohac

It will be seen therefore that the so-called central nervous system of Echinus does not act in any sense as a brain, as indeed might have been guessed from the absence of any differentiation in it. As Uexklill points out, when an animal is covered all over with similar organs, such as spines and pedicellariae, capable of acting automatically, a brain is not needed. The object of a brain is to direct organs wh

Contact with these bristles causes the small muscles at the base of the valve to contract, thus closing the valves and injecting the venom into the skin of the victim. One of the primary functions of pedicellariae is that of defense. When the sea urchin is at rest in calm water, the valves are gener- ally extended, moving slowly about, awaiting prey. When a foreign body comes in contact with them, it is immediately seized.

The corrosive chemical influence, which it can be proved exudes not only from the stomach but even from the tube-feet of the Starfish, causes the gemmiform pedicellariae to approach and open widely.

Uexkiill (1897, 1897a, 1899, 1900, 1900a). The sea urchin differs from most lower animals in bearing large numbers of motor organs scattered over its entire surface. Most prominent of these are the spines, which are movable, and may be used as legs, or as means of defence. Among the spines are certain peculiar jawlike organs known as pedicellariae (Fig. 133), each borne on a movable stalk. These jaws frequently open and close, seizing
