In addition to the foregoing, the following have been observed 
by the Rev. Dr. Gordon of Birnie and T. Edward of Banff :— 
Ophiactis Ballii, Ltk. (Thomps) ; Ophiocoma Ballit). 
Ophiocoma nigra., Miill and Tr. 
(O. F. Mill) ; Ophiocoma granulata. 
Uraster violacea Miiller. 
When we consider that eleven only of the Ophiuridea are 
enumerated in the above list, and that ‘it appears that the num- 
ber of Ophiuroids known to inhabit British seas has been more 
than doubled during the-past twenty years” (the number now 
standing at thirty-four), we may safely predict that the north-east 
coast will yet furnish further additions to this interesting class of 
animals.
