 developed. The anterior lateral ambulacra are very broad, whilst 

 tlie posterior petals are shorter, more pear-shaped, and have a 

 concave curve outwardly. 



Conclusion. 



The following list will indicate the extremes, as at present 

 known, of the geographical distribution of the species comprised 

 in the above collection : — 



ASTEROIDEA. 



Astropecten formosus, mihi Korea. 



japonicus, M. & T Japan. 



poly acanthus, M. & T Red Sea^ Zanzibar, Australia, Fiji

An analysis of the above will show that, out of the six Asteroids, 

 three are additions to the fauna of Japan, viz. Astropecten formo- 

 sus, Stellaster BelcJieri, and Crilrella densispina. Of these, Stel- 

 laster Belclieri has hitherto been known as inhabiting N". Australia 

 and New Gruinea only ; Astropecten formosus may be regarded as
