Ileliometrinen A. H. Clark, Die Crinolden der Antarktis, 1915, p. 147 (the species of Bathj'metrinae 

 in certain ways resemble the young of the species of this subfamily), p. 168 (shallow water Ant-

Diufinosis. — -A subfamil}' of Antedonidae in which the cirrus sockets are arranged 

 in usually closely crowded and more or less regularly alternating transverse rows on 

 a flattened hemispherical to sharply conical centrodorsal; the cirri are very numerous, 

 XXXV-(;C (usually about LXX), longandstout,withup to 90 (usually 40-55) segnients 

 of which the outer are shorter than tiie proximal and bear a more or less prominent 

 dorsal spine, rarely absent; Pj is long and flagellate, composed of very numerous, 

 30-82 (usually 50-60) short segments, none of which are longer than broad and all of 

 which have their angles more or less cut away; and one or more of the following pmnules 

 usually resembles P,, being of similar length, slightly longer or slightly shorter, though 

 P2 rarely, P3 more frequently, and F, usually is shorter than P, and composed of fewer 

 but longer segments. 



Geographical range. — Shores of the j\jitarctic continent, vSouth Georgia, Kerguelen, 

 Gough, Bouvet, Campbell, the Antipodes and Heard Islands and northward along the 

 western coast of South and North America to the Bering Sea, westward along the 

 Aleutian Islands, and southward to eastern and southern Japan; western shores of the 

 Japanese and Okhotsk seas from the Korean Straits northward; Arctic seas and 

 southward to Hudson Bay, Cape Cod, the Faeroes, northern Norway, and Siberia.
