ASTEROIDEA 4 : 



1 Pfeffer records the widely distributed species, Sertularia operculata, Linne, from the Kerguelen region. — 

 (tirgebnisse der deutschen Polar-Expeditionen.) 



2 The species which has been referred to Campamularia cannot be specifically distinguished from a hydroid 

 obtained last autumn by H.M.S. " Valorous " in Baffin's Bay. It belongs to a common group of campanularian forms ; 

 but yet the fact of identical forms occurring in such widely separated localities, though under conditions probably 

 very similar, is one of great interest and significance, more especially as the distribution can hardly be explained, as 

 in certain other cases, by the transporting agency of ships' bottoms. ... A form which cannot be distinguished 

 specifically from this [Carrvpcmularia (?) cytindricd], has more recently been dredged by H.M.S. " Valorous " from CO 

 fathoms in Baffin's Bay.— (Allman, Phil. Trans., vol. 168, pp. 282, 284.) 



3 This species [Halecium mtdilum'], like H. macrocephalum, Allman, from the western part of the Gulf Stream, 

 and H. sessile, Norman, from the Hebrides, is remarkable for the utter absence of the tubular prolongation of the 

 lateral orifice of the internode which gives support to the hydranth in most of the species of Halecium. — (Allman, 

 Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 283.) 



4 Of the Echinodermata collected at Kerguelen by the British Transit of Venus Expedition, E. A. Smith writes:— 

 Opportunity was taken some pages back of exliibiting the relations of the Molluscan fauna of Kerguelen Island !" 

 that of the Falklands and Patagonia ; and it was pointed out that representatives of boreal types entered into its 

 composition. Materials for similar comparisons between the Echinodermata indigenous to the same regions scarcely 

 exist, but such as there are, make it apparent that what obtains in the Mollusca holds good also in the Echinodermata 

 with respect to geographical distribution. ... A similarity to certain boreal terms is exhibited by some of tin- 

 ■species. Tims Porwnia antarctica strangely resembles /'. pulvilhis of the northern seas of Europe; the Pedicettatter 

 represents another septentrional genus ; Pteraster affinis imitates closely J't. militaris of boreal waters. The genera 

 Ophioglypha and Ophiacantha are almost cosmopolitan in distribution ; yet the Kerguelen Island representative of tin-
