This species is mentioned by Storm [ '78, p. 252 ; '79, -p. 19] mider the 

 name of Archaster parelii and by Hoffjlvnn [ '82, p. 8] under that of Astro- 

 'pecten parelii. These citations are made on the authority of Ludwig. 

 Verkill [ '82, p. 218] mentions Archaster ^^areZii as occurring off the New 

 EngLand coast at depths of 225-487 fathoms but scarce ; the form referred 

 to being the one later described by Sladen under the name of Pseudarcli- 

 aster intermedius. 



Danielssen and Koren in their fuU report on the Norwegian North 

 Sea Expedition reproduce the description of their variety longobrachialis 

 quoted above with a few verbal alterations. The list of the stations where 

 examples were obtained are however extended as follows [ '84, p. 89] : Stat. 

 261, two specimens ; Stat. 262, one specimen ; Stat. 290, one specimen. As 

 to the typical form, they give a list of previous literature and short notes 

 as follows [ '84, p. 87] : 



" Archaster Parelii, (Düren k Koren) Joh. Müller. 



" Tliis rare starfish was found at Station No. 79. A couple of speci- 

 mens. 



" Distribution. Along tlie Norwegian coast, but, everywhere, sparingly. 

 The Miu:man coast. The North American coast. The British coast." 



Verrill [ '85, p. 543 + 1 fig.] refers to Pscudarcliaster intermedius Sl.\den, 

 a synonym of the present species, under the name of Archaster parelii as 

 occurring on the noiihern coast of the United Statss : " B. [athymetrical] 

 range, 225 to 1,608 fathoms (547 to 1,608 fathoms, 1883). Not rare, but 

 always in small numbers." 



According to Ludwig this species is mentioned by Jarzinsky [ '85, p. 

 170]. Sladen refers it to liis subgenus TctJujaster (under Plutonaster) and 

 makes some remarks on it under the name of Tcth/aster pirelU [ '89, p. 102] :
