Albatross station 5414; between Cebu and Bohol; Lauis Point light bearing 

 N. 67 W., 9.5 miles distant (lat. 10 10' 40" N., long. 124 02' 45" E.); 77 meters; 

 March 24, 1909 [A. H. Clark, 1911] (16, U.S.N.M., 27494, 35413, 35415, 35416, 

 35429, 34531-35436, 35473, 35522). 



China Sea, east of Hainan (lat. 19 18' N., long. 112 14' E.); 208 meters; cable 

 repair ship The Cable, Eastern and Associated Telegraph Co. [A. H. Clark, 1934] 

 (2, Raffles Mus.). 



Geographical range. From the Lesser Sunda Islands to the Philippines and 

 Hainan. 



Bathymetrical range. From 77 to 208 meters; the average of 7 records is 121 

 meters. 



History. This species was described in 1911 as Calometra alecto from a speci- 

 men from Albatross station 5414. Eighteen additional specimens were secured at 

 this station, and at the same tune one was recorded from station 5356 and two more 

 from station 5413. It was stated that this species belongs to that group in the 

 genus Calometra that includes C. multicolor, C. acanthaster, and C. spinossima 

 (=spinosissima) . 



In 1912 upon the establishment of the genus Neometra in my memoir on the 

 crinoids of the Indian Ocean this species was transferred to it, and the synonymy 

 and range of Neometra alecto were given. The affinities, characters, and range of 

 Neometra alecto were given in 1914. 



In 1918 a specimen was recorded from Siboga station 305, and notes on it were 

 given. In 1922 Prof. Torsten Gisl4n discussed the characters of the lower pinnules, 

 and in 1929 I recorded three much broken specimens from Rotti Strait that had 

 been found on a cable brought to the surface from a depth of 183 meters by the 

 cable repair ship The Cable and presented to the British Museum by the Eastern 

 and Associated Telegraph Co. In 1934 Professor Gisle'n discussed the arm structure, 

 and hi the same year I recorded two more specimens that had been collected by 

 The Cable and presented to the Raffles Museum in Singapore.
