 Fauu^ls Edw, 



' Mr. Graef of Brooklyn, reports tliis species as having been taken on Long 

 Island. 



' This is by many supposed to be merely a suffused variety of Asterias. The 

 capture of another individual in Florida — a female — (Mr. Grote's type was a male) 

 reported by Mr. T. L. Mead in the American Katuralist, vol. iii, p. 332, is favorable 

 to its specific distinction. 



^ Taken by Mr. Edwards in Newburgh. 



* Taken by Mr. Tepper on Long Island, who reports T. lisa as occasionally occurring 

 there in abundance. 



* The validity of this species is not fully established. Its author now deems it 

 possible that it may be but a variety of tharos. It has not, however, been found to 

 occur in New England associated Avith tliaros. 



* It is thouglit that this will prove to be a dimorphic form of comma.
