pis LUO: 
The occurrence of this cosmopolitan species south-east of 
Australia is notable since its known range southward is thus 
extended over two thousand miles. The specimens are all 
small, 10-20 mm. disk-diameter, and, so far as I can see, do 
not differ from North Pacific specimens of the same size. Six 
specimens. 
Locs.—Kast of Babel Island, Bass Strait, 65-70 fathoms. 
Off Gabo Island, Victoria, 200 fathoms. 
South-east of Cape Everard, Victoria, 200 fathoms.

EURYALE ASPERA, Lamarck. 
Euryale aspera, Lamarck, Anim. sans Vert., ii., 1816, p. 538. 
This species was taken by the ‘‘ Challenger” in Torres 
Strait, but the present collection extends the known range 
southward over a thousand miles. All the specimens are 
dried adults, the disk-diameter only ranging from 25 to 40 mm. 
There is considerable diversity in colour, however, for the: 
specimen from Wide Bay is orange above, paling to yellow 
beneath ; one from off Double Island Point is deep orange- 
brown; another is brown and another pale brown; the 
specimen from Port Curtis is very pale brown ; all the other 
specimens are dull purple. Fourteen specimens. 
Locs.—Twenty-five miles south-east of Double Island Point, 
Queensland, 33 fathoms. 
Wide Bay, Queensland, 18-23 fathoms. 
Port Curtis, Queensland, 14-16 fathoms.
