CLYPEASTER RETICULATUS. 35 



specimen from Hawaii, the form is somewhat intermediate between these two 

 (PL 124, fig. 5), while in an adult Hawaiian specimen the blade is more gradually 

 expanded than in any of the others (PI. 124, fig. 6). The difference between 

 this latter and the form found in the specimen from Reunion led me at first to 

 suppose they were different species but thorough examination of their other 

 characters and examination of the tridentate pedicellariae in a number of other 

 specimens compelled me to conclude that in this species these pedicellariae are 

 very variable. The two specimens from Mauritius are notable, not only for 

 their peculiar pedicellariae but for their size; the larger is 73 mm. long, 59 mm. 

 wide, 19 mm. high and the margins of the test are 16 mm. thick. In the Revi- 

 sion 48 mm. is given as the maximum length for the species. 



The Albatross collected this species at numerous stations in the Hawaiian 

 Islands, but most of the specimens are young and a good many are bare tests 

 They range from 13 to 45 mm. in length.
