Description Breynia vredenburgi Anderson was until recently known only from a single
young specimen 39 mm. long which was dredged from Port Blair, Andaman Islands
and described by Anderson in 1907. Clark (1946) in discussing the genus Breynia
remarked' Although there are supposed to be two species in this genus the northern
one, from Andaman Island, is still little known'. The northern species referred to
is Breynia vredenburgi. Mortensen (1951) could not give any additional information
on the species in his monograph of the Echinoidea for want of specimens.
