Order II.— OPHIUPOIDEA. 

 Ophiothrix pentaphyllum, Ljungmann (Pennant). 



OpMocoma rosula, Forbes, Brit. Starf. 



,, 7ninuta, Forbes, op. cit. (the young). 

 OijMothrix pentaphyllum, Ljn., Ofvers. k. Svensk. Akad. Forhandl., 1871. 



Abundant in all parts of the Firth from low water down 

 to considerable depths on hard ground. 



[The name given for this species by Dr Henderson was 

 Ophiothrix fragilis, 0. E. Miiller^ with Ophiocoma rosula, 

 Forbes, and Ophiocoma minuta, Forbes (the young), as syno- 

 nyms. Thus Dr Henderson, like Forbes and Norman, has 

 not distinguished between the species 0. pentaphyllum and 

 0. fragilis ; and therefore the above distribution only applies 

 to the two species taken as one. — J. T. C]
