 AsTERONYX LOVENi, Muller and Troschel. 



Asteronyx loveni, Miiller and Troschel, Svs. d. Ast., 1842,

The occurrence of this cosmopolitan species south-east of 

 Australia is notable since its known range southward is thus 

 extended over two thousand miles. The specimens are all 

 small, 10-20 mm. disk-diameter, and, so far as I can see, do 

 not differ from North Pacific specimens of the same size. Six 

 specimens. 



Locs. — East of Babel Island, Bass Strait, 65-70 fathoms. 



Off Gabo Island, Victoria, 200 fathoms. 



South-east of Cape Everard, Victoria, 200 fathoms.

Euryale aspera, Lamarck, Anim. sans Vert., ii., 1816, p. 538. 



This species was taken by the " Challenger " in Torres 

 Strait, but the present collection extends the known range 

 southward over a thousand miles. All the specimens are 

 dried adults, the disk-diameter only ranging from 25 to 40 mm. 

 There is considerable diversity in colour, however, for the 

 specimen from Wide Bay is orange above, paling to yellow 

 beneath ; one from off Double Island Point is deep orange- 

 brown ; another is brown and another pale brown ; the 

 specimen from Port Curtis is very pale brown ; all the other 

 specimens are dull purple. Fourteen specimens. 



Locs. — Twenty-five miles south-east of Double Island Point, 

 Queensland, 33 fathoms. 



Wide Bay, Queensland, 18-23 fathoms. 

 Port Curtis, Queensland, 14-16 fathoms.
