of the ray. Mouth shields triangular. The whole animal is of a pale 
brown colour. The distance between the tips of the rays is about three 
quarters of an inch. 
Dunedin Harbour. 
Asteracanthion graniferus, Lam. 
À specimen of what I take to be this species is in the Otago Museum. 
It was found in Dunedin Harbour. :

À specimen of this species, found near Dunedin, has been presented to 
the Museum by Mr. A. Montgomery. 
Echinaster fallax, Mull. and Troch. — Othilia luzonica, Gray. 
The Henricia occulata of my Catalogue of the Echinodermata of New 
Zealand (1872) is the same as this species. 
Echinaster (?) sp. 
Rays seven; five and a half times as long as the diameter of the disc. 
À specimen 18in. in diameter from Waikouaiti, presented by Mr. Orbell. I 
cannot identify it.

I have placed with great doubt under this species a,starfish that I have 
received from Wellington.

I have not seen any description of either this species or the last. 
Asterina regularis, Verrill. 
| Ihavea variety of this species, from Dunedin, with six rays, which can 
hardly be distinguished from 4. australis.

G. tubaria and G. geranioides, and found that our species differed from both. 
It is, however, I think, identical with G. canaliculata ; but the ocular pores 
are at the external angle of the plates, and Mr. Agassiz does not mention

ten primary tubercles in a row. 
Norr.—Since reading this paper, I have seen the figure of Goniocidaris 
canaliculata in Sir Wyville Thomson's “ Atlantic,” and find that it is not 
our species. Our species may be called Goniocidaris umbraculum. 
Salmacis globator. 
Specimens sent to the Otago Museum, by Mr. C. Traill, from Stewart 
Island, appear to belong to this species. But there are eight or nine 
tubercles on a plate of the interambulacral system at the ambitus. The
