Most of this description will apply to a number of speci- 
mens, but there are very striking differences among them, 
some are very stout and strong, others are almost delicate ; as 
the specimens have been in formalin and in spirit, too much 
importance is not to be ascribed to the absence of pigment, 
or to the difference to be seen in its distribution on the bodies 
of different examples. 
The specimens were procured as follows :—

Antedon sclateri (Pl. III.) 
This somewhat variable species appears to belong to Division 
II. of Carpenter’s A. savignyt group (see Chall. Report Comat., 
p. 252). There are not as many as 20 joints in the cirri, and 
may be no more than 15, the distichal pinnule is small, and 
there are no lateral processes to the pinnules; there are 20 
arms or less, but always more than ‘To. 
The cirri vary not only in the number of joints, but in the 
length of them, so that what appear to be fully developed 
cirri may be less than 15 or more than 30mm. long; the 
increase in length is due rather to the increased length of 
the joints than to an increase in number. 
The specimens were procured as follows :—
