has found it at the following places. The specimens range in size 

 from '2 to 7 mm. across the disk, but the growth changes are rela- 

 tively slight and the agreement with Lyman's description and figures 

 is close.

AMPHIURA CAPENSIS. 



Ljungman, 1867. Ofv. Kongl. Vet.-Akad. Forh., vol. 23, p. 320. 

 Lyman, 1882, CHALLENGER Oph., pi. XVIII, figs. 14-16. 



These specimens range from 3*5 to 6'5 mm. across the disk; in 

 the smallest there are as a rule but 5 arm-spines, but one or two 

 of the basal segments have 6; in the largest, there are 7 spines on 

 all the basal joints. Ljungman's type, 5 mm. across the disk, had 

 6 or 7 arm-spines but Lyman's specimen, figured in the CHALLENGER 

 Report, must have been about 10 mm. across and had 8 arm-spines. 

 Doderlein reports numerous specimens of this species from Luderitz 

 Bay, Southwest Africa, 3'3-8 mm. across (1910, Schultze's Zool. 

 Anth. Ergeb., vol. 4, Ifg. 1, p. 253). He suggests Lyman's large 

 specimen with 8 spines was not c<.i/>ens!s, but I have examined several 

 of the CHALLENGER specimens and can vouch for their identity. 

 Lyman's figures are, as Doderlein suggests, rather "schematic". The 

 species seems to be distinctly a littoral one, in spite of the fact that 

 the CHALLENGER specimens were taken at 98 fms.

AMPHIURA ANGULARIS 

 Lyman, 1879. Bull. M. C. Z., vol. 6, p. 25; pi. XI, figs. 311-313. 



It is very interesting to find a fine adult individual of this Ant- 

 arctic species in the collection. It is one of four specimens labelled 

 "Ophiothrix triylochis Bell no. 15110 (not seen by Bell)". The others 

 are Ophiactis abyssicola and are listed below. The Amphiura is
