 TßOSCHEL for comparison ['66, p. 9]. 



Under the name of Goniastcr MUlleri v. Martens Lütken (syn. Dori- 

 gona Beevcsü Gray) has some imi)oi-tant remarks on tliis species ['71, j). 248] • 



" Godt afbildet hos Gray ; hvis 

 FremstiUingeu er i naturlig stön-else, 

 er Original-Exemplaret ikke Hdt stöiTe 

 end de forehggende, der i denne 

 Henseende stemme med Berliner- 

 IMuseets. Lige saa lidt som Gray 

 seer jeg Spor til Iiandpigge hos 

 dem ;^M Henseende til Ambiilakral- 

 papillerne er Forholdet omtrent som 

 hos G. BelcJieri. Mangleu af Ryg- 

 knuder saavel som af Pedicellarier, 

 de regelmaessige, flade, sexkantede 

 Rygplader, kun adskilte af enkelte 

 Porer i Hjörnerne og Kanterne, og 

 de tah'ige (13-22) Bngplader inden- 

 for Armvinklerne paa Bngfladen ka- 

 rakterisere i ovrigt denne Art, med 

 HensjTi til hvilken jeg vil indskrsen- 

 ke mig til at henvise til den en- 

 gelske Forfatters Aibildning og den 

 tydske Zoologs Beskrivelse. 



" I Modsœtniug til de to nennest 

 foregaaende Ai-ter^ synes G. Mülleri 

 at have Hjem sammen med G. equcs- 

 tris. Gray angiver den at vaere al- 

 mindehg i kinesiske og japanske Li- 

 sektensamhnger ; de to forehggende 



1) " Derimod hedcler det hos v. IIabtkns, I.e. 

 S. 359 ; • Von den. unteren tragen bei weitem 

 nicht alle ' (altsaa dog nogle) ' einen Stachel'." 



2) Stdlaster hiberculosus and Stell, bdcheri. 



Well figiu-ed in Gray ; whose re- 

 presentation is in natm-al size, the 

 original example is somewhat larger 

 tlian the one before me, wliicli in 

 this respect agi-ees with that of the 

 Berhn Mnseimi. As httle as Gray 

 do I see trace of marginal spines in 

 this ;^^ in respect of the ambnlacral 

 papillse the aiTaugement is nearly as 

 in G. BelcJieri The absence of dorsal 

 tubercles as well as of pedicellariœ, 

 the regular, flat, hexagonal dorsal 

 plates, separated only by single pores 

 at the angles and sides, and the 

 nmnerous (13-22) venti-al i^lates in- 

 side the arm angles on the ventral 

 side, besides other tilings, characte- 

 rise this species, in consideration of 

 which I will confine myself to referr- 

 ing to the figure of the Eughsh author 

 and the description of the German 

 zoologist. 



In contradistinction to the two 

 immediately preceding species-^ G. 

 Blnlleri seems to hail from the same 

 place as G. equestris. Gr.vy states it 



1) On the contrary it is stated by v. IIab- 

 TENs, I.e. S. 359 : ' Von den unteren, tragen 

 bei weitem nicht alle ' (therefore some at any 

 rate ) ' einen Stachel.'
