A. H. CLARK: THE CRINOIDS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN. 283 



427. — 1907. H.A.MANN, Bronn's Klassen und Ordnungen des Tier-Reichs, 

 vol. 2, Abt. 3, p. 1572. 



One of these species (which are merely mentioned by name) is said to have 

 come from Amboina; Dr. P. H. Carpenter suggests that it is probably a Meta- 

 crinus. 



COMATULA MONILIS, C. POLY ACTINIA, C. MONILIFORMIS. C. 

 INSERTA, C. ACTINODES. 



Comatula monilis etc. 1862. Dtjjabdin and Hup^, Hist. Nat. des Zoophytes, 



Echinodermes , p. 208. 



MM. Dujardin and Hupe list these species as being contained in the collection 

 of the Paris Museum. Tlie names are nomina nuda, and none of the supposed 

 species have ever subsequently been described under them. I looked for these 

 names during my visit to the Paris Museum, but was unable to find them : they 

 appear to have been removed from the specimens and lost. 



COMATULA TRIQUETA. 



Comatula triqueta 1877. von Graff, Das Genus Myzostoma, pp. 12, 13, 14, 15, 



16, 18, 22, 23, 72, 79. 



Professor von Graff refers to some East Indian comatulid under a MS. name 

 proposed by Professor C. F. Liitken. 



ANTEDON sp 



Antedon 18S-2. Bell, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (5), vol. 10, p. 255. 



Professor Bell says "Indications, the first within my knowledge,* of a 

 comatula from Ceylon are presented by a specimen with thirty-nine arms, only 

 a few cirri with about thirteen joints, the penultimate spine obsolete, with 

 syzygies in the axillary distichals, axillary palmars, and third brachial; the next 

 syzygy is in the eleventli brachial. The absence of a terminal comb from the 

 proximal pinnules induces me to suppose that the specimen belongs to the genus 

 Antedon, and it would appear to be undescribed. The dried condition of the 

 specimen and the possession of only a single example forbid my describing it 

 fully, or giving a fresh specific name." 



ANTEDON ADEON^. 



Antedon adeonce 1884. Bell, Rep. Zool. Coll. H.M.S. "Alert," p. 156 (part). 



Among the " Alert " collections at London there are some curious comatulids 

 from Port Molle (12-20 fathoms) and from "Alert" Station No. 87, recorded 



1 The first coinatuUd was described from Ceylon in 1846, and a second was recorded three years 

 later.
