 various museums and individu-

 of the fauna is dealt with, its 

 richness and relation to other 

 faunae, the habits of the star- 

 fishes, their different stages, 

 characteristics and variations. 

 Three orders of Asterioidea are 

 recognized, viz., Forcipulosa, 

 Spinulosa and Phanerozona. 

 The family Asteriidse is treated 

 in great detail. Analytical ta- 

 bles are given of the genera, 

 species, etc. ; all the forms are 

 described and most of them are 

 figured. Seventeen new genera 

 and many new species, subspe- 

 cies and varieties are made,
