4, Asterina pectinifera (Miller and Troschel), v. Martens. 
Asteriscus pectinifer, Miiller and Troschel, 1842, System der Asteriden, p. 40. 
Asterina pectinifera, v. Martens, 1865, Archiv f. Naturgesch., Jahrg. xxxi. Bd. i. p. 352. 
Locality.—Yokohama. Depth 5 to 25 fathoms. 
5. Asterina folium (Liitken), Agassiz. 
Asteriscus folium, Liitken, 1860, Videnskab. Medd. naturh, Foren. i Kjgbenhavn for 1859, p. 60. 
Asterina folium, A. Agassiz, 1877, Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard, vol. v. No. I. p. 106. 
Locality.—Bermuda. Depth and conditions not recorded. 
Remarks.—A single example was obtained at Bermuda, which I refer with some 
hesitation to Liitken’s Asterina folium. The marginal contour appears to be more 
pentagonal, the interbrachial arcs being less indented; and the abactinal plates seem to 
me to be relatively larger and more convex in form. 
Asterina folium, Liitken, is placed by Perrier* as a synonym under Asterina minuta, 
Gray. The example under notice differs altogether from the type specimens of Asterina 
minuta, Gray, which are preserved in spirit in the British Museum, and still bear their 
original label in Gray’s handwriting. These examples do not appear to have been seen 
by Perrier. Under these circumstances I regard the Asterina foliwm of Liitken and the 
Asterina minuta of Gray as distinct species. 
6. Asterina cepheus (Miller and Troschel), v. Martens.
