1. "Challenger " Station No. 186. — One specimen. 



2. Northwestern Australia. — Three specimens. 



3. No Locality. — One specimen with seventeen arms about 40 mm. 

 long; three of the IIBr series are 2 and two are 4 (3 -f- 4) ; each of 

 the latter bears internally a IIIBr 3 (2 -)- 3) series. The IIBr 2 

 series may be immediately followed by a syzygial pair (the normal 

 first syzygial pair) or the second and third brachials may be united 

 by syzygy ; these two types of proximal arm structure are of about 

 equal frequency. There are 21 cirrus segments. 



Half of the animal alone would certainly be identified as Comatella 

 maculata, the other half as Capillaster multiradiata.
