A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 593 



same year I recorded the 2 specimens which I had seen at the Paris Museum bearing 

 the manuscript name Comatula coccodistoma . 



In my monograph on the crinoids of the Indian Ocean i)ublished in 1912, 

 wahlbergii was maintained as a distinct species, and the synonymy and the range 

 were given. 



In 1913 I published an annotated Ust of the specimens of this species in the 

 collection of the British Museimi, together with the references to them in the 

 literature. 



In 1915 I recorded and gave notes upon some specimens secured by the Gauss 

 at Simons Bay, and in 1918, in my report upon the unstalked crinoids of the Siboga 

 expedition, I inserted this species in a key to the species of Comantkus. 



In 1923 Dr. Hubert Lyman Clark recorded 3 additional specimens which had been 

 collected by the Pieter Faure in Simons Bay, and in the same year in a list of the cri- 

 noids of the Atlantic I gave its range.
