  I 
  have 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  from 
  Dunedin, 
  with 
  six 
  rays, 
  which 
  can

  During 
  a 
  late 
  visit 
  to 
  Sydney 
  I 
  was 
  able 
  to 
  examine 
  specimens 
  of 
  both 
  

   G. 
  tuharia 
  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 
  

   the 
  trumpet-shaped 
  secondaries 
  surrounding 
  the 
  abactinial 
  system. 
  It 
  has 
  

   ten 
  primary 
  tubercles 
  in 
  a 
  row. 
  

  

  Note.' 
  — 
  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 
  umhraculum.

  C. 
  Traill, 
  from 
  Stewart 
  

   Island, 
  appear 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  this 
  species. 
  But 
  there 
  are 
  eight 
  or 
  nine 
  

   tubercles
