  the 
  

   appearance

  on

  to 
  be 
  looked

   great 
  anticipation. 
  This

  recently

  the

  sanguine 
  expectations

   disappointed. 
  

  

  Until 
  recently 
  the 
  Comatula) 
  have 
  been 
  singularly 
  neglected 
  by 
  

   naturalists. 
  This 
  circumstance 
  was 
  due 
  partly 
  perhaps 
  to 
  the 
  diffi- 
  

   culties 
  of 
  study 
  and 
  partly 
  to 
  the 
  comparative 
  scarcity 
  of 
  specimens.
