adults elles sont herisees de dents a leur extreraite et aussi sur ime 

 certaine longueur au-dessous de cette extreniite." 



In the Hudey specimen some of the discs have 54 perforations, 

 the average being about 44. 



This specimen, which has been three years in spirit, still gives a very 

 fair notion of the colour as described by Perrier.

Antedon bifida (Pennant — rosacea).

 Station XIII. 412 fathoms. 2 specimens. 



I am indebted to Dr. Koehler, of Lyons, for identifying this species. 



Two specimens were obtained by the Caudan Expedition from 

 a depth of 1410 metres, and it is described and figured (6a), p. 9, Figs.

 Station XIII. 412 fathoms. 15 specimens, of which two

This species was obtained by the Blake [Carpenter (2)], at a great 

 number of stations, but at depths nowhere over 300 fathoms and rarely 

 exceeding 200 fathoms. The Porcupine specimens were dredged at 

 477 fathoms and those of the Dacia at 533 fathoms. The Caudan 

 specimens were from depths varying from 400 to 1710 metres. 



Except two species of Pthizocrinus, this is the only Crinoid common 

 to the European and Caribbean seas, and the only European species of 

 Actinometra.
