SPECIES OF STYLASTERIDA AT PRESENT KNOWN, 
A list of all the species of Stylasteridze, at present described, here follows. The list 
is not to be considered as constituting a revision of the species. Access has been had 
to only a limited number of specimens, and as in the case of many of the species good 
figures, or indeed any figures at all, are wanting, and the description founded on a 
false theory as to the nature of the organisms described are necessarily imperfect, a 
revision has not been found possible. Indeed, such can only be carried out when the 
soft structures of more species shall have been examined. The list, such as it is, 
represents an attempt to draw attention to all the species of which an account has been 
published. Few references are given, those only in each case being selected which are 
the latest and will supply all further references required when consulted, or those which 
indicate figures of the species described. The localities are appended in most instances 
in order to show the distribution of the members of the family.
