For purposes of identification 
and comparison with Ingolf ma- 
terial, the writer had studied a 
number of types in this Mu- 
seum, and also sundry collec- 
tions made by the U. S. Fish- 
eries steamer ‘“Albatross,’’ which

seribes three new genera, Hali-

A report on a collection of 
ophiurans chiefly from the West 
Indies and the southeastern 
United States but including a 
few specimens from other lo- 
ealities. Twenty-four new spe- 
cies and a new genus, Ophiomi- 
sidium, are described, also sev- 
eral imperfectly known species. 
The new species belong to the 
genera Ophioderma, Ophio- 
glypha, Ophiomusium, Ophiomi- 
sidium, Amphiura, Amphiodia,

Based on collections from the 
Harriman Expedition, the Ca- 
nadian Geological Survey and 
various Museums and individu- 
als. A small collection from 
the United States National Mu- 
seum is included. Every phase 
of the fauna is dealt with, its 
richness and relation to other 
fauns, the habits of the star- 
fishes, their different stages, 
characteristics and variations. 
Three orders of Asterioidea are 
recognized, viz., Forcipulosa, 
Spinulosa and  Phanerozona. 
The family Asteriide is treated 
in great detail. Analytical ta- 
bles are given of the genera, 
species, etc.; all the forms are 
described and most of them are 
figured. Seventeen new genera 
and many new species, subspe- 
cles and varieties are made,
