RECENT OPHIURANS. 237 



HoLOTYPE (M. C. Z. 1511). Hong Kong. March, 1861. W. H. A. 

 Putnam. 



This specunen has no notes by Mr. Lyman but bears only the name 

 Amphiura. As it is in very poor condition, all the arms being broken and the 

 disk half gone, it was probably put aside in the hope of further material. Such 

 has not been forthcoming and the species is well characterized by the peculiar 

 inequaUty of the arm-spines. Probably pilosa is its nearest ally but the two 

 cannot be confused the arm-spines are so different, to say nothing of the upper 

 arm-plates.

' Owing to an unfortunate error, figures 10 and 12 on pi. 2, Siboga littoral ophiurans, have ex- 

 changed their numbers; hence all text references to those figures are wrong. The same is true of figs. 

 5 and 7 of the same plate.
