The upper arm-plates are transversely oval, with a slight peak 
in the middle of the distal border; between them the side arm-plates 
are visible reaching nearly to the middle line. The under arm-plates 
are approximately square, nearly as broad as they are long, with the 
lateral and distal margins slightly excavated, and the proximal slightly 
produced and angulated. The side arm-plates support four com- 
paratively long, slender, pointed, conical arm-spines, the second of 
which is longest, and the uppermost the shortest. Further along the 
arm the upper one disappears. 
Locality.—Offt Cape Kidnappers, east coast of the North Island. 
Remarks.—This species seems to be near A. koree Duncan [12], 
in which, however, the intergenital area is plated. 
Ophionereis schayeri Muller and Troschel. 
Farquhar, loc. cit., 1898, p. 307. 
A few specimens of this very common littoral species were included. 
It appears to be distributed all along our coast. (See remarks by 
Farquhar [18].) 
Ophiactis nomentis Farquhar. 
Ophiactis nomentis Farquhar, Trans. N.Z. Inst., xxxix, 1906, p. 125. 
Unfortunately the station-number of this species is not recorded, 
It was obtained by Farquhar in 4 fathoms of water at Cape Maria 
van Diemen, but our specimens must have been got south of this, 
and on a sandy bottom, for sand still adheres to them. Their colour 
is now grey, mottled with white, especially on lateral portions of the 
upper arm-plates. 
Pectinura maculata Verrill. 
Farquhar, loc. cit., 1898, p. 306, gives synonymy. Koehler, Bull. 
Sci. de la France, xli, 1907, p. 285, pl. x, fig. 34. 
Stations 6, 9, 15, 24. 
This handsome and not uncommon species, described so long ago 
as 1869, has only recently been figured by Koehler. 
Localities. Stewart Island, south and east coast of South Island. 
[D’Urville Island, in Cook Strait : Wellington ; Auckland; Chatham 
{slands (Farquhar).] 
ECHINOIDEA. 
Goniocidaris umbraculum Hutton. 
Farquhar, loc. cit., 1898, p. 316. 
Several examples of this curious little cidaris were obtained. The 
characteristic spines, dilated at the tip to form a flattened or concave 
terminal disc, are unmistakable. Hitherto it has only been obtained 
from the shores of Stewart Island, and doubtless these present speci- 
mens came from that neighbourhood.
