water of the same part of the sea where the foregoing specimen 

 was obtained, which is probably to be referred to this species 

 (PL XII, fig. 180, 181). In its general outline it closely resembles

 the form and distribution of the pedicellariœ, the armature of the 

 mouth-plates and the form and deciduous character of the surface 

 granules all converge to characterise it as a young example of 

 the present species, while none of the characteristics of Odonta^- 

 ter are apparent. 



Specimens in S.C. ; a third dried specimen has been sub- 

 sequently acquired, orange above, light brown below. 



Mizypasteria no.vawai, n. sp. 



(PI. Xm, figs. 20.3-211.) 



This is a avcU characterised species. The body is flat, the 

 abactinal surface very slightly convex and the actinal side per- 

 fectly level. The disk is relatively large and the arms tolerably 

 long for a Illppasteria, and rounded at the end. I have only one 

 specimen which measures as follows : 



Superomarrj'mals. — The superomarginals are quite conspicuous 

 and are, with the exception of one or two terminal ones, nearly 

 square in form. They are fairly large on either side of the in-
