REPORT UPON THE ECHINODERMATA. 133 



It is plentiful around the south coast of the Isle of Man, 

 and also in the neighbourhood of Penniaenmawr, and at 

 Fleetwood. 



Asterias glacialis, Linn. 

 This large species, the Ur aster- glacialis of Forbes and 

 other authors, has been taken in deep water off the Manx 

 coast (Wallace, recorded by Forbes), and has also been found 

 at Port Erin and the Calf of Man, by Mr. Garner.* It has 

 apparently not been found nearer Liverpool. The species is 

 not uncommon further up the west coast. I have dredged it 

 in Lamiash Bay,t Arran, and at the entrance to Loch Fyne, 

 and in the Sound of Mull. 



Asterias hispida, Pennant. 



Uraster hispida, Penn. Forbes, British Star Fishes, p. 95. 



I have referred to this species a small star fish with 

 short and rather rounded rays, which was obtained during the 

 cruise of the " Hyaena," on May 24th, 1885, in the entrance 

 to the Menai Straits, near Bangor. The specimen measures 

 2*5 cm. in diameter, and seems to agree with the description 

 and figure given by Forbes. 



This species was originally found by Pennant in Angle- 

 sea, and Dr. Coldstream came upon it on the limestone rocks, 

 near Castletown, Isle of Man.

Several specimens of this species were dredged off Port 

 Erin, and between Port St. Mary and The Calf, Isle of Man, 

 during August, 1885. It has not been recorded from the
