FROM THE COAST OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. 117 
CRIBRELLA LÆVIUSCULA, Stimpson. Low water at the entrance to Malaspina Inlet, in the 
Goletas Channel, and on the coast between Nahwitti village and Quatsino Sound, 
—several from each of these localities. 
DERMASTER IMBRICATUS, Perrier. (—Asteropsis imbricata, Grube.) Beach at Hernando Island, 
two large specimens; low water at the entrance to Malaspina Inlet, one specimen ; 
and Johnstone Strait, one specimen. 
MED'ASTER ÆQUALIS, Stimpson. Low water at the north end of Malcolm Island, Queen 
Charlotte Sound, one fine specimen. 
ASTROGONIUM GRANULARE, O. F. Muller. One beautiful living example of this rare spe- 
cies, which is now for the first time recorded as occurring in the North Pacific, was 
dredged in forty fathoms in the Strait of Georgia, off the mouth of the Qualicum 
River. It is almost precisely similar to a specimen of the same species taken some 
years ago off Halifax, Nova Scotia, and now in the Redpath Museum in Montreal. 
For the loan of the latter, for comparison, the writer is indebted to Sir William 
Dawson. 
ECHINOIDEA. 
DENDRASTER EXCENTRICUS, Valenciennes. (Sp.) Beach at Mary Island, Strait of Georgia, 
several dead and bleached specimens denuded of their spines. Low water at 
Savary Island, in the same strait, alive and numerous. 
LOXECHINUS PURPURATUS, Stimpson. (Sp.) Common almost everywhere along the coast. 
STRONGYLOCENTROTUS DROBACHIENSIS, Mull. With the preceding, and equally common. 
HOLOTHUROIDEA. 
PENTACTA FRONDOSA, Gunner. Two specimens of a very large Holothurian which appear 
to belong to this species, though they have not been examined microscopically, 
were dredged in Queen Charlotte Sound ; one at station No. 11 and one at station 
No. 12. 
A number of small Holothurians, which have yet to be studied, were dredged in 
Queen Charlotte Sound, at station No. 14. 
TUNICATA. 
CYNTHIA (HALOCYNTHIA) PYRIFORMIS, Rathke. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 18,
