The following species were assigned to Comaster:

Comaster discoidea. Comaster peronii. 



Comaster divaricata. Comaster quadrata. 



Comaster duplex. Comaster regalis. 



Comaster echinoptera. Comaster robustipinna. 



Comaster elongata. Comaster rotalaria. 



Comaster Jimbriata. Comaster rubiginosa. 



Comaster gracilis. Comaster schlegelii. 



Comaster grandicalyx. Comaster sentosa. 



Comaster iowensis. Comaster solaster.

Comaster japonica. Comaster trichoptera. 



Comaster littoralis. Comaster typica. 



Comaster macrobrachius. Comaster valida. 



Comaster maculata. Comaster variabilis. 



The name (Actinometra) pulchella as used by P. H. Carpenter was shown to be 

 unavailable, and the alternative name alata was proposed for the species. 



The new name Comaster carpenteri was suggested for Actinometra multifida as 

 diagnosed by Carpenter in the Challenger report. Miiller proposed the name 

 multifida merely as a substitute for Lamarck's multiradiata. His idea was that, 

 two quite different species having been called multiradiata, one by Lamarck and one 

 by Goldfuss, the name should hold for that with the recognizable diagnosis; so he 

 restricted it to Goldfuss's species. Subsequently he examined Lamarck's original 

 types, and from one of them he drew up his diagnosis of multifida. According to 

 Carpenter, Lamarck's multiradiata is the multiradiata of Linn6 and of Retzius; 

 but he resurrected the name multifida for a specimen which was among Lamarck's 

 types and which differed both from the multiradiata of Lamarck and the multiradiata 

 of Goldfuss. But multifida is a synonym of multiradiata Lamarck and can not be 

 used for any other species. Hence the name carpenteri is proposed to cover the form 

 called multifida by Carpenter. 



In this paper attention was called to the fact that the Encrinus parrae of Guerin 

 [in reality Paul Gervais the article is signed merely "P. G."], 1835, based on the 

 "Palma animal" of Parra, 1787, is the same as the Pentacrinus mulleri described by 

 Orsted in 1856. 



Guilding's Encrinus milleri, described from St. Vincent in 1828, is stated to be 

 an unrecognizable species; the name also is preoccupied.
