a broad indistinct band of purple around the middle; the 
‘specimen is in poor condition, however, and I think the 
colour of the spines has been altered ; I believe they were, as 
usual, greenish at base, violet or purple distally and with 
an indistinct light tip; in the process of preservation the 
green tint has been nearly completely obliterated. 
The occurrence of typical S. virgulata on the coast of 
southern Queensland necessitates the acceptance of Déder- 
lein’s view that S. alexandri is at best only a subspecies of 
S. virgulata, and I am the more ready to do this because the 
Museum of Comparative Zoélogy has now a typical specimen 
of S. alexandri from Badu Island, Torres Strait. Obviously 
the geographical ranges of the two forms are by no means 
distinct. ‘Three specimens. 
Locs.—Off the coast of Queensland. 
Twenty-five miles south-east of Double Island Point, 
Queensland. 
Genus Microcyruus, L. Agassiz and Desor. 
MIcROCYPHUS ANNULATUS, Mortensen. 
Microcyphus annulatus, Mortensen, Siam Ech., 1904, p. 101. 
This is a typical example of this species, 11mm. in 
diameter. 
Loc.—Seven miles north-east of Cape Pillar, Tasmania, 
50-60 fathoms. 
Genus AMBLYPNEUSTES, L. Agassiz.

These are all large specimens, 50-63 mm. in diameter, with 
the height ranging from .60 to .76 h.d. In colouration there 
is considerable diversity. The specimens from an unknown 
locality are light brown, with the small spines whitish and 
the primaries greenish-brown, tipped with whitish ; in one 
specimen the greenish-brown is confined to the basal part 
of the spine, especially on the actinal surface. The speci- 
mens from Flinders Island, Bass Strait, are similar but more 
green ; the test is olive-greenish and the basal part of the 
primaries is more green than brown; in one specimen the 
primaries are nearly all white. The specimen from between 
Gabo Island, Victoria, and Disaster Bay, New South Wales,
