THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
Asterina cepheus being probably the form in question. Asterina 
squamata and Asterina marginata, off Senegal, the latter extending 
across the Atlantic to Brazil. Asterina minuta (Gray), Asterina 
lymani, Asterina pilosa, and *Asterina folium, from the West 
Indian area, the last-mentioned also off the coast of Florida (fide 
Alexander Agassiz). Asterina granifera, Asterina coccinea, 
Asterina gunnii, and *Asterina exiqua, from the Cape of Good 
Hope; Asterina coccinea extending into the Indian Ocean to 
Mozambique, Asterina gunni extending to Australia and Tas- 
mania, and Asterina exigua extending through the Indian and 
Southern Oceans into the Eastern Archipelago and Pacific. 
InpIAN and SouTHERN OcEANS: Seven (or eight ?) species between the parallels 
of 30° N. and 40° S. 
“Asterina cepheus, “Asterina penicillaris, and Asterina wega, 
from the Red Sea; Asterina cepheus is also found off Zanzibar and 
Mozambique, and extends into the Eastern Archipelago and Pacific ; 
Asterina penicillaris is also found off Port Natal, and extends 
into the Eastern Archipelago and Pacific; Asterina wega is also 
found off Mauritius. Asterina gibbosa is reputed to occur in the 
Red Sea, and at Mauritius and Madagascar, and to extend into the 
Eastern Archipelago, but Asterina cepheus is probably the species 
intended. Asterina coccinea and Asterina coronata, off Mozam- 
bique, the former extending to the Cape of Good Hope, and the 
latter into the Eastern Archipelago. As to the specific distinction 
of Asterina coronata from Asterina cepheus 1am somewhat doubtful. 
Asterina fimbriata, off the Island of Bourbon. *Asterina exiqua, 
from Natal, Mauritius, Madagascar, St Paul Island, extending to 
the Cape of Good Hope, and passing eastward into the Eastern 
Archipelago and Pacific. 
HastERN ARCHIPELAGO: Four (or five ?) species between the parallels of 20° N. 
and 20° §. 
“Asterina cepheus, “Asterina exiquus, and * Asterina penicillaris 
from Java; Asterina cepheus and Asterina exigua are also found off 
the Philippines and extend into the Indian Ocean and Pacific, the 
latter occurring at the Cape of Good Hope. Asterina exigua and 
Asterina penicillaris are also found off the Moluccas, and the latter 
at Flores, and extending into the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Aster- 
ina coronata (the specific distinctness of which from Asterina cepheus
