Nardoa Sladeri, Challenger Asteroidea, 1889, p. 411. Type Asterias variolata Retzius (the Asterias variolata ot Lamarck, and

Nardoa segyptiaca Sladen, Challenger Asteroidea, 1889, p. 788. 
Recorded by Sladen (1. c.), from the Sandwich Islands. I have been unable to find the original 
record. This species was not taken by the Albatross expedition. 
Family GYMNASTERIIDA Perrier, 1884, emended. 
Gymnasteriidae Perrier, Mfjmoire sur les Etoiles de Mer, etc. <Nouv. Archives Mus. Hist. Nat., 2“ ser., t. vr, 1884, p. 165. 
Genus GYMNASTERIA Gray. 
Gymnasteria Gray, Ann. N. H., ser. 1. vol. Vi, 1840, p. 278. Type, Asterias carinifera Lamarck. 
Asteropsis (pars) Muller and Troschel, System der Asteriden, 1842, p. 62. 
Gymnasteria carinifera (Lamarck). 
Asterias carinifera Lamarck, Animaux sans Vert&bres, t. 11 , 1816, p. 556. 
Gymnasterias carinifera v. Martens, Archiv. f. Naturg., Jahrg. xxxri, Bd. 1, 1866, p. 74. 
This species is recorded from the Sandwich Islands by Perrier (Revision des Stellerides, p. 286), 
the specimens being in the British Museum. Sladen likewise records it in the report on the starfishes 
collected by the Challenger expedition (p. 357), very likely from the same specimens. No examples 
were secured by the Albatross expedition. 
Order SPINULOSA Perrier emended. 
Family ASTERINIDA Gray, 1840 (emended). 
Asterinidse Gray, Synopsis of the Genera and Species of the Class Hypostoma ( Asterias Linn.). <Ann. N. H., ser. 1, vol. Vi, 
r 1840, p. 288. Emended by Perrier, Revision des Stellerides, 1875, p. 289; and in Mission Scientif. du Cap Horn, Eehino- 
dermes, 1891, p. 107. 
=Asterininee Sladen, Challenger Asteroidea, 1889, pp. 376, 384, or the Asterinid*, less Ganeriinse and Palmipedin®. 
Genus ASTERINA Nardo. 
Asterina Nardo, De Asteriis, Oken’s Isis, 1834, p. 716. Type (?) Asterina gibbosa (Pennant). Asterina minuta (Olivi) 
Nardo=Asfmas gibbosa Pennant. 
Asterina granulosa Perrier. 
Asterina granulosa Perrier, Revision des Stellerides, 1875, p. 312. J. E. Ives, Proc. Phil. Acad. Sciences, 1889, p. 173. 
The specimens upon which the species is based were collected by M. Ballieu in the Sandwich 
Islands in 1874. The only other direct reference which I have been able to find is that of J. E. Ives 
(1. c.), who records one specimen from Oahu, collected by Dr. W. H. Jones. No examples were 
secured by the Albatross expedition. 
Family ANSEROPODIDAi®, new. 
= Subfamily Palmipedinse Sladen, Challenger Asteroidea, 1889, p. 394. 
a By those who do not believe that this group constitutes a family the name Anseropodin® must be used, instead of 
Palmipedin®, Palmipes being a synonym of Anseropoda.
