Japan (von Siebold). — The numerous cirri are 
rather strongly curved distally; the dorsal pole of the 
centrodorsal is very broad; the rays and division series 
are rather broad, and the axillaries are long and acutely 
pointed, suggesting the conditions found in C. trichoptera.

(= Comatula rotalaria), and Alecto wahlbergii J. Müller,

Indian Ocean (Bennet), — One specimen with 
thirty-three arms. 
Ceram (coll. Hoedt). — One small specimen with 
nineteen arms and no functional cirri. 
Timor (types of Alecto timorensis). — These specimens 
can be matched exactly with others which I have examined 
collected in the Philippine Islands; the cirri are VI, XIII, 
and XIV, 13—14. 
Solor Islands (coll. Sem melink). — Two specimens, 
one small with twenty arms and cirri X, the other me- 
dium sized with twenty-four arms and cirri IX. The cirri, 
as in the preceding from Timor, are comparatively well 
developed, and show an approach to the type found in 
Comanthus samoana.
