 California ; D. J. E. Gray,' Dr. Chr, Liitken,' and Mr. A. Agassiz' 

 for the tropical region ; Valenciennes'' and Agassiz and Desor' for 

 the Galapago Islands and coast of Pern ; Philippi" for the coast of 

 Chili and southward to the Straits of ^Magellan. Dr. Ltitken has 

 given lists of all the species of Echini and Starfishes known npon the 

 whole coast at that time, but numerous discoveries have been made 

 since the publication of his valuable papers. Mr. Theodore Lyman' 

 has given a list of all the known Ophiurians, with descriptions of all 

 the America species which he has personally examined. 



From these and other works, and from the collections of the Yale 

 College Muse.mi, the Smithsonian Institution, the Boston Society of 

 Natural History, and the Essex Institute, the following lists have 

 been complied. 



Care has been taken not to admit doubtful species, and those ap- 

 parently without sufficiently authentic localities. The few species 

 included in the lists of which the localities are questionable or sus- 

 pected are preceded by a mark of doubt, thus, (?) ; those that I have 

 personally studied are marked thus, (!).
