and 4 pi'esumably from the vicinity of Perth. A summary of the information regard- 

 ing this form was given. In the list of localities there is a curious error, Atjeh being 

 given as in Burma instead of in Sumatra. 



In the paper on the crinoids of the Leyden Museum I included under Comanthus 

 parvicirra the types of Muller's Alecto timorensis and a specimen from the Indian 

 Ocean collected by George Bennett (the last the same as that recorded from the East 

 Indies by Carpenter in 1881) which should have been referred to this species. 



In an appendix to my report on the crinoids of the Leyden Museum publishe.' in 

 1911 Dr. R. Horst noted that 2 specimens had accidentally not been recorded, 1 of 

 which was Comanthus parvicirra from Atjeh. Hartlaub had mentioned this specimen 

 in 1891 under the name of parvicirra, and undoubtedly Doctor Horst took the name 

 from Hartlaub 's label. 



In a paper published in 1911 I recorded this species, as Comanthus (Comanthus) 

 annulata, from 3 localities in the Philippines where it had been collected by the 

 Albatross. 



In a report on the crinoids of the Hamburg Museum published in 1912 I listed and 

 gave notes upon all the specimens in that institution excepting, apparently, one from 

 Tonga which had been previously mentioned by Hartlaub. 



In my memoir on the crinoids of the Indian Ocean published in 1912 I gave a 

 synonymy of this species and a list of all the localities from which it is known. The 

 first locality was "Atjeh, Burma," a repetition of the error made in the previous 

 year. The type specimen of Bell's Actinometra annulata was identified as described 

 above under "Notes." 



Three of the specimens from Galle, Ceylon, and that from Port Blair listed under 

 Comanthus parvicirra seem to be more properly referable to timorensis. 



In a paper on the crinoids of the Solomon Islands published in 1912 I recorded a 

 specimen which had been collected by H. M. S. Penguin, and in a paper on the crinoids 

 of the Berlin Museum published in the same year I recorded specimens from New 

 Guinea, St. Matthias Island, and Batjan. 



Dr. August Reichensperger in 1913 recorded from the Aru Islands a specimen of 

 Comanthus parvicirra with 43 arms, which undoubtedly, as suggested by Dr. H. 1 L. 

 Clark in 1921, is a representative of timorensis. 



In 1913 I published my notes on the specimens in the British Museum, giving a 

 complete list of the published references to them, and in the same year I described 9 

 specimens from Shark Bay which had been collected by the Hamburg southwest 

 Australia expedition. 



In 1914 I recorded 9 specimens from the Endeavour collection which had been 

 dredged between Fremantle and Geraldton, Western Australia. 



Dr. Hubert Lyman Clark in 1915 gave a detailed account of this species as it 

 occurs at Mer in Torres Straits, and described a new color variety to which he gave 

 the name Comanthus annulatum xanthum. He also described in detail a new species 

 which he called Comanthus callipeplum. In the same year he recorded and described 

 a number of specimens from Ceylon. 



In the Siboga report published in 1918 I gave a synonymy of this species and 

 recorded specimens from 8 Siboga stations in the Lesser Sunda and adjacent islands.
