428 BULLETIN 82, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM VOLUME 1 



In 1907, before I had discovered that Antedon australis is simply the young of 

 A. anfarctica, I suggested the name (jlahra to replace australis, as Carpenter had men- 

 tioned quite a different species {Craspedometra acuticirra) under the name Antedon 

 australis in 1882. 



In 1908 Prof. F. J. Bell mistakenly recorded this species from the Discovery Winter 

 Quarters in the Ross Sea. These specimens are of Florometra mawsoni. 



In my paper on the crinoids of the Paris Museum published in 1911 I wrote, 

 under the heading Heliometra mageUanica, "Cette esp^ce est la m6me que 1' Antedon 

 australis et aussi que 1' Antedon rhomboidea d^crite par Carpenter dans Ic rapport sur 

 les 6chantillons recueillis par Ic Challenger." This is, of course, an error. Antedon 

 australis is the same as A. antarctica, and A. rhomboidea is the same as A. mageUanica. 



In 191.3 I published notes upon the crinoids which I had studied in the British 

 Museum in 1910. Antedon australis was placed definitely in the synonymy of A. 

 antarctica. Two specimens dredged at "Mts. Erebus and Terror" by the Discovery, 

 which had been identified as Anthometra adriani by Bell, were redetermined as this 

 species. [Note by A.M.C] However, following the establishment of Florometra 

 mawsoni in 1937, these specimens were recognized as belonging rather to that species 

 by John, 1938. 



In 1915 I published a complete synonymy of this species and a list of all the known 

 records. 



Prof. Bell in 1917 mistakenly recorded it from Terra Nova stations 194 and 295, 

 mentioning a 6-rayed individual which is in reality Promachocrinus kergueUnsis. 

 His other specimens were Notocrinus virilis. 



[Note by A.M.C] In 1937 Mr. Clark recorded under this name specimens from 

 two stations of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition off Adelie Land. The color 

 in life was given as yellow. I believe that these specimens should have been referred 

 to Florometra mawsoni.
