there are abactinal pedicellariae, the plates are not bare 

 centrally and the actinal intermediate plates have very con- 

 spicuous spines. The vahdity and the sharp definition of 

 the genus are not, however, in any way aflfected. 

 Loc. — Eastern Slope, Bass Strait, 80-200 fathoms.

 It is exceedingly interesting to find this Uttle-known East 

 Indian species so far south as North Reef, Queensland. 



Loc. — Thirteen miles north-east of North Reef, 70-74 

 fathoms ; thirty-eight miles north-east of North Reef, 

 Capricorn Group, off Port Curtis, Queensland, 50-75 fathoms. 

 Five specimens.

About half these specimens are dark brick red, of varying 

 degrees of intensity, while the others are pale brown or dull 

 yellowish ; the difference is not associated with locality. 

 Regardless of the ground colour, certain individuals have, in 

 marked contrast, a number of the actinolateral plates, ad- 

 joining the adambulacral plates near the mouth, deeply 

 stained with reddish-purple. All the specimens are dry. 

 There is more or less diversity also in the number of tubercles 

 on the abactinal surface, the extremes being 10 and 100, and 

 their size and arrangement is equally diverse. The largest 

 specimen has R nearly 90 mm. Twenty-three specimens. 



Locs. — Thirteen miles north-east of North Reef, Capricorn 

 Group, off Port Curtis, Queensland, 70-74 fathoms. 



Wide Bay, Queensland, 18-23 fathoms. 



Twenty-five miles south-east of Double Island Point, 

 Queensland, 33 fathoms.
