No. IX. ECHINODEEMATA. 261 



giving information regarding the depth, temperatures, and 

 localities relating to the specimens. 



The collection is so interesting and the specimens are so 

 variable, that we propose to describe it fully in a separate 

 monograph. — P. Maiitin Duncan.] 



Localities. — To avoid repetition, the following are the 

 positions of the collecting-stations in Grinnell Land men- 

 tioned in this report : — 



Floeberg Beach (the winter-quarters of H.M.S. ' Alert '), 

 lat. 82° 27' N., long. 61° 42' W. 



Discovery Bay (the winter-quarters of H.M.S. ' Discovery '), 

 lat. 81° 41' N., long. 64° 45' W. 



Kichardson Bay, lat. 80° 5' N. 



Cape Frazer, lat, 79° 44' N. 



Hayes Point, lat. 79° 42' N. 



Dobbin Bay, lat. 79° 40' N. 



Cape Louis Napoleon, lat. 79° 38' N. 



Franklin Pierce Bay, lat. 79° 26' N. 



Although the present Keport is chiefly confined to a de- 

 scription of the Echinoderms obtained north of lat. 78° N., it 

 has been thought desirable and interesting to include the 

 record of a dredging made by Capt. Feilden during the 

 outward voyage, on July 2, 1875, in lat, 65° N. The station 

 was 26 miles from the Greenland coast, and the depth 30 

 fathoms ; bottom rocky, with rounded pebbles. The following 

 Asteroids and Ophiurans were taken here : — Aster acanthion 

 polaris, M. & T. ; Solaster endeca (Linn.), Forbes ; Ophio- 

 glypha robusta (Ayr.), Lym. ; Ophioglypha Stuwitzii 

 (Liitk.), Lym. ; Ophiopholis bellis (Linck), Lym.
