BRISASTER LATIFRONS.

the Japanese specimens are very large, measuring 70-75 mm. long and these 

 often approach very nearly to townsendi in the size and form of the petals, 

 a notable case of parallelism. The form of the test in these specimens shows 

 much diversity; one is 75 mm. long, 64 mm. wide and 35 mm. high, while another 

 from the same station is 72 mm. long, 67 mm. wide and 34 mm. high. My 

 earlier statement that this species "seems to have a more restricted range" 

 (1913. Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 32, p. 225) than B. townsendi is obviously 

 not borne out by the following list of stations where the Albatross has 

 taken it.
