The Echinoid Fauna <strong>from</strong> Japan <strong>and</strong> Adjacent Regions 45<br />

Echinoids described in <strong>the</strong> literature were collected, as well as of those newly added<br />

to <strong>the</strong> material. Because <strong>the</strong>re are many names of <strong>the</strong> stratigraphical units in Japan,<br />

especially of <strong>the</strong> Tertiary, a glossary describing <strong>the</strong>se units which concern <strong>the</strong> fossil<br />

Echinoids seems to be necessary here, but it is not referred to this article. In this<br />

chapter <strong>the</strong> writer only lists <strong>the</strong> genera <strong>and</strong> subgenera of <strong>the</strong> fossil Echinoids treated<br />

in this work, arranged according to <strong>the</strong> geological age.<br />
