ciently well preserved for stating beyond doubt to which species they belong, it 

 would be unreasonable to alter the familiar name of Teiunopl. Hardmickii. 



The specimens mentioned by Agassiz in the Challenger-Kchini p. 107 under 

 T. Hardivickii are only partly that species. I have examined them in the British 

 Museum and find them to be as follows: 



Kobi, Japan. — 5 beautiful specimens of T. toreumatkns, recalling, however, in the 



development of their pits T. Hardivickii. 

 Arafura Sea. — A very young specimen, probably of T. iurenmaticiis; the spines are 



ringed, not dark at the base. 

 St. 192. — One specimen, representing a new species of the genus Opechinus 



(described below as 0. spectabilis). 

 Off Yokohama. — 5 beautiful specimens of T. Hardivickii. 



I may further remark that the two small specimens from lat. 32' 49' N., long. 

 128° 54' E. mentioned by Sladen in the above cited paper on the Asteroids and 

 Echinoids from the Korean Seas as young T. Hardivickii (p. 436) are Pleiirechinits 

 variegatus (see below) or a very nearly related species.

The description of this easily recognizable species given by Agassiz is very 

 good, so I need only add a few remarks, mainly on the pedicellariæ and spicules. 

 — The globiferous pedicellariæ, as described and figured by de Meliere, have a long, 

 fine lateral tooth on either side or sometimes only on the one side below the long 

 and slender endtooth; they are generally placed at an unequal distance from the end-
