Crinoidea. 3l3 



five Segments, resembling Pi ; Pg is 6 mm long with nineteen segments, 

 smaller and weaker than the preceding; tlie following pinnules are similar 

 to P3; the distal pinnules are 11 mm long, slender, with twenty-nine Seg- 

 ments which are short, scarcely half again as long as broad. 



The color is light yellowish, with the dorsal pole of the centrodorsal 

 (except for a central spot) and the articulations dark brown. 



This species differs from P. clarae of the Moluccas in its much greater 

 number of arms (twenty-two instead of from ten to twelve), in the greater 

 number of cirrus segments, and in its longer and more numerously seg- 

 mented proximal pinnules. 



Annotations 



to the main report upon the Crinoids (Die Fauna Südwest-Australiens, III). 



Page 439: In the "List of the East Indian Crinoids occuring on the 

 coasts of Australia": after Comaster ii/pica (the first species under the 

 Comnstennae) in the first column instead of "Port Hedland" read "Port 

 Walcott". 



Page 440: In the continuation of the same list: remove ''Heteromeira 

 hengalensis, Holothuria Bank; Port Curtis" (the last species under the 

 Himerometridae), and, changing the name to Zygometra punctata, insert on 

 the opposite page (441) at the end of the Zi/gometridae, following Zygo- 

 metra elegans. 



Change the first species under the Mariametridae {Dichrometra tenera) 

 to read Dichrometra gyges; and, in the second column, read, instead of 

 "Bowen", "Port Molle". 



In the "List of the tropical Crinoids confined to Australia": change 

 ^'■Comanthina belli' (at the bottom of the page) to read ''Comaster hellt \ 



Page 441: In the Zygometridae , after Zygometra elegans , insert 

 ^'Zygometra punctata, Holothuria Bank; Port Curtis". 



In the Mariametridae: these two supposed species are in reality the 

 same form, and they are the same as the Dichrometra tenera mentioned 

 on the opposite page (p. 440) ; these two names should therefore be re- 

 moved from this page, and ''Dichrometra tenera, VPerth; Bowen" on the 

 opposite page (440) should be altered to read "Dichrometra gyges, V Perth ; 

 Port Molle". 



In the Colobometridae: after Cenometra cornuta, the tirst species, in- 

 sert, ''Petasometra helianthoides, Sharks Bay;V". 



Page 443: In the "East Indian Species", change "Dichrometra tenera''' 

 to read "Dichrometra gyges'', and insert a cross in the column headed 

 "Port Molle".
