There are two dried specimens of this species from Cape Jaubert, both in poor 

 condition, evidently found on the beach. In one of them (Pl. IV, Fig. 2) only some 

 of the upper radioles are preserved; they are of a beautiful violet colour, with a 

 donble row of spines and flattened at the tip. This specimen has quite a number 

 of large globiferous pedicellaria on the apical area. The other (Pl. IV, Fig. 1) has 

 the radioles thorny all round and not flattened at the tip. 



Evidently this species is highly variable, especially as regards the shape of its 

 radioles. Perhaps a better material will pro ve that it is not really all one species.

One single, dried specimen, h. d. 56, v. d. 32. 



The sutural pores are very obsolete, hardly discernible. The globiferous pedi- 

 cellaria contain bihamate spicules, sometimes in great numbers. Also in the tube 

 feet spicules are fairly numerous. — Otherwise there is nothing specially noticeable 

 in this specimen. 



5. Temnopleurus scalaris n. sp.

There are two specimens of this interesting new species, one in alcohol, but in 

 no very good condition, from 45 miles W. S. W. off Cape Jaubert, 27 meters (3/VIT. 

 1911), the other a naked test, without the apical system, and unlabelled — evidently 

 found on the beach. 



The measurements of the two specimens are as follows.
