392 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



The locality of the following three species is unknown, and their names are not 

 included in the foregoing list : — 



Asterina setacea (VaL), Perrier. Asterina stellaris, Perrier. Asterina trochiscus (Eetz.), Perrier. 



Asterina trochiscus is associated with the vague statement " Habitat in mari indico ; " 

 and the species itself appears to me to be more or less doubtful. 



The species collected by the Challenger are indicated in the foregoing list with an 

 asterisk.
