1 Mr. Graef of Brooklyn, reports this species as having been taken on Long 

 Island. 



2 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 Naturalist, vol. iii, p. 332, is favorable 

 to its specific distinction. 



3 Taken by Mr. Edwards in Newburgh. 



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

 there in abundance. 



6 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 with tharos. 



6 It is thought that this will prove to be a dimorphic form of comma.
