There is proposed to replace Goniodiscus , which is untenable, the new generic 
name Goniodiscides , type G. seise (Muller and Troschel). See p. — . 
One new family is established, Anseropodidse, which equals the Palmipedinse. 
The new name Goniodiscidinae is proposed to replace Goniodiscinae, on account of 
change of Goniodiscus. 
Species for the first time recorded from the Hawaiian Group are Astropecten 
poly acanthus, Goniodiscides seise , Astropecten velitaris , Linckia diplax , Valvaster 
striatus. 
One previously reported species was taken by the Aliatross, Mithrodia iradleyi 
(sub nomine clavigera). 
Species recorded from the Hawaiian Islands but not taken by the Aliatross are 
listed below: 
Luidia brevispina 
Archaster typicus 
Nidorellia armata 
Culcita arenosa 
Ophidiaster pusillus (?) 
From these lists it will be readily se
