Lee Boone 3I has recorded from Espiritu Santo Island, Gulf of California, under 

 the name Heliaster kubiniji (pi. 4), a specimen of Pycnopodia helianthoides which 

 can not be located in the Bingham Oceanographic Collection. In a letter, Mr. 

 A. E. Parr, in charge of the collection, informs me that some of the material of this 

 expedition was inadequately labeled. Locality highly improbable for Pycnopodia. 



Subfamily Asterhnae (Verrill, part) 



All species and formae of this subfamily believed to be valid are treated in this 

 volume and may be taken, seriatim, for a check list.
