134 REPORT ON THE ECHINODERMS (OTHER THAN HOLOTHURIANs) 



3. Actinometra typica. 



Phanogenia typica, Loven, Ofv. Vet. Akad. Forhandl. 1866, p. 231. 

 Actinometra typica, P. H. Carpenter, Notes Leyd. Mus. iii. (1881), p. 19.5. 

 Loc. New Britain, 



The history of this species has been very fully given by P. H. Carpenter in the 

 work referred to, in the ' Challenger ' Reports and elsewhere. 



4. Actinometra grandicalyx. 



Actinometra grandicalyx, P. H. Carpenter, Jouru. Linn. Soc. xvi. (1882), p. 520. 



Loc. New Britain. 



I am by no means certain of the identity of Dr Willey's specimen with this 

 species ; it should be pointed out that it was founded by P. H. Carpenter on a single 

 specimen, which is in the Hamburg Museum, but I am unable to make any better 

 suggestion. 



5. Actinometra bennetti. 



Alecto bennettii, Midler, MB. Ak. Berlin, 1841, p. 187. 



Actinometra bennettii, Bohlsche, Arch. f. Nat. I860, p. 90; P. H. Carpenter, Notes 

 Leyd. Mus. iii. (1881), p. 212. 



Loc. Loyalty Islands. 



It is of interest to observe that the two specimens collected by Dr Willey came 

 from the same Islands as the specimen describeil by Dr Bohlsche in 1866. 



6. Actinometra parvicirra. 



Alecto parvicirra, Muller, MB. Akad. Berlin, 1841, p. 185. 



Actinometra parvicirra, P. H. Carpenter, Trans. Linn. Soc. (1879), p. 27, and Chall. 

 Rep. Comat. (1888), p. 338. 



Loc. Sandal Bay, Lifu. 



Dr Herbert Carpenter has dealt so fully with this species, which is widely dis- 

 tributed in the intertropical area, that there is nothing of importance for me to add. 



ECHINOIDEA. 



7. Cidaris metularia. 



Cidarites metularia, Lamk., An. s. Vert. iii. (1816), p. 56. 



Cidaris metularia, de Bl., Actinol. (1830), p. 232; A. kg. Rev. Ech. (1872), p. 385. 



Loc. Loyalty Islands. 



This is another species of very extensive distribution. 



8. Phyllacanthus annulifera. 



Cidarites annulifera, Lamk., An. s. Vert. iii. (1816), p. 57. 

 Phyllacanthus annulifera, A. Ag., Rev. Ech. (1872), p. 387. 

 Loc. Milne Bay, New Guinea, 36 fms.; and New Britain. 



Though with a somewhat extended area this species is comparatively rare. The 

 spines, when fresh, were seen to be " quite covered with an incrusting Zoanthid."
