are pale, dirty grayish, or brown, and show no trace of any of 
the original colours. Four specimens. 
Locs.—Off Fraser Island, Queensland, 32 fathoms. 
Twenty-five miles south-east of Double Island Point, 
Queensland, 33 fathoms. 
Family ECHINASTERID:. 
Genus Henricta, Gray. 
HENRICIA HYADESI (Perrier). 
Cribrella hyadesi, Perrier, Miss. Sci. Cap-Horn, vi., Zoologie, 
Kchinod., 1891, p. K100.

Although these specimens show considerable diversity in 
proportions and in spinulation, in view of the well-known 
inconstancy of characters in the genus, I do not feel justified 
in recognising more than one species, and that one I, for the 
present, identify with Perrier’s species from southern South 
America. I cannot go as far as Ludwig and consider all the 
Antarctic and sub-Antarctic Henricias as a single species, for 
I doubt if Studer’s H. pagenstecheri is identical with Perrier’s 
H. hyadesi, and Lam quite prepared to learn that the Australian 
and South American Henricias are distinct. But until more 
material is available, it is futile to discuss the matter. It is 
worthy of note that all the Australian specimens are from 
water relatively deep for the genus. The largest specimen 
has R=80 mm. ; in another R=75 mm.; br=18 mm.; in 
a third, R=67 mm.; br=9 mm. _ Usually the arms taper to 
a slender tip, but in one specimen they are rather uniformly 
stout. One specimen from the Great Australian Bight has 
6 arms but does not seem to differ otherwise from the rest. 
All the specimens have lost their original colours, and are now 
some shade of yellowish-brown. Eleven specimens. 
Locs.—Kast of Maria Island, Tasmania, 78 fathoms. 
Off Babel Island, Bass Strait, 50-60 fathoms. 
South of Gabo Island, Victoria, 200 fathoms.
