530 FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 



J. S. Gardiner, and determined by F. P. Bedford and F. J. Bell.* 

 A sea-urchin, believed to be Metalia sternalis, Gray, was occas- 

 ionally found dead at high-water mark on the beaches of the 

 leeward islets of Funafuti, but as no specimens were preserved for 

 exact identification, it is not here included. A starfish dredged 

 off the north-west corner of Funafuti, at a depth of one hundred 

 and thirty fathoms by H.M.S. " Penguin," which was, in life, 

 bordered by segments of brick-red and yellow-red, size R. 30 mm., 

 has been presented to the Australian Museum by Lieutenant A. 

 Waugh, R.N. This has been determined by Mr. Whitelegge as 

 probably an immature example of Nardoa gomophia, Perrier, 

 originally described from New Caledonia, f
