Cornatula Jimbriata, Actinometra borneensis, and Actinometra coppingeri should all 

 be referred to the Linnean Asterias multiradiata." In June, 1909, he published a 

 detailed account of a curious specimen which had been dredged by the Gazelle at 

 Dirk Hartog Island, and which had been mentioned without comment by Studer 

 in 1889. Later in the same month in a revision of the comasterids he described 

 under the name of Comissia lutkeni the two 10-armed specimens which in December, 

 1908, he had recorded, with others, as Comaster coppingeri. 



In November, 1909, he published a detailed account of the specimens of this 

 species in the Zoological Museum at Copenhagen, with a synonymy and historical 

 and other notes. 



In February, 1911, he recorded this form from 4 additional Albatross stations 

 in the Philippines ; later in the same year he mentioned having examined the 3 spec- 

 imens from the Sunda Straits in the Paris Museum, and recorded another from the 

 Java Sea which he had seen in the Leyden Museum. 



In 1911 the occurrence of this species on the Australian coasts was discussed in 

 detail in two different papers, but no new records were given. 



In 1912 specimens in the Berlin Museum from 7 different localities, only one of 

 which had previously been noted, were recorded, as well as others from 5 localities, 

 only one of which was previously mentioned, in the collection of the Hamburg 

 Museum. 



In his monograph on the crinoids of the Indian Ocean published in 1912 the author 

 gave a detailed account of this species, with a complete synonymy, and added many 

 new localities, most of them resulting from the operations of the Royal Indian Marine 

 Surveying steamer Investigator. In the same year Hartlaub recorded as ? 'Actinometra 

 jimbriata an arm fragment from the Sooloo (Jolo) Islands which had been brought 

 back by the United States Exploring Expedition, and Professors Koehler and Vaney 

 discussed the gastropod parasite which had been found by the author on a specimen 

 from Singapore and described in an appendix to his paper on the crinoids of the 

 Zoological Museum at Copenhagen published in 1909. 



In 1913 Dr. August Reichensperger, in an account of a collection of comatulids 

 from the Aru and Kei Islands made by Dr. H. Merton in 1907-8, recorded four speci- 

 mens of this species from Ceylon which had been collected by Doctor Sarasin in 1886, 

 and described in detail under the name of Capillaster clarki two from the Aru Islands. 



In 1913 the author published notes on the 21 lots of specimens which he had 

 studied in the British Museum in 1910, giving references to the original records in all 

 cases where the specimens previously had been mentioned. 



In 1913 the author outlined the range of this species in eastern Asia, giving it as 

 occurring in the China Sea and at Formosa (Taiwan), and in the same year Professors 

 Koehler and Vaney discussed the history and affinities of the gastropod parasite. 



In 1914 the author recorded it from the coast of Western Australia, where it had 

 been dredged by the Endeavour, and Prof. Frank W. Clarke and William C. Wheeler 

 published a chemical analysis of the skeleton which had been made at the request of 

 the author. 



In 1915 in a paper on the distribution of the Australian crinoids the range of this 

 form in the Australian seas was given in detail, and later in the same year it was
