 In this paper are described G 

 new genera (each with a new type

 criltcllosa) ; Astropectinidse, An- 

 thosticte (A. aulophora) ; Goni- 

 asteridae, Pontioceramus (P. gran- 

 dis), Lithosoma (L. actinometra) , 

 Atelorias (A. anacanthus) ; Pteras-

This is the first part of a work 



intended to describe the Asteroidea 



north of a line drawn from the 



southern end of Sakhalin to the 



southern boundary of the United 



States. 



All the forms are described and 

 figured, with keys to the families 

 and genera, the classification has 

 been revised, the morphology has 

 been studied, also variations, young 

 stages, and the relations of this 

 fauna to that of other regions. 



Based chiefly on material in the 

 U. S. National Museum, but in- 

 cludes also collections in Stanford 

 University and the University of 

 California.
