The same holds good of the Expedition to the Subantarctic Islands 
in 1907, which found only one species of Ophiurids, in Carnley 
Harbour, Auckland Islands. In his report on the Echinoderms of 
this expedition Benham^) lists this species as Åmphiura squamata, 
proving at the same time Hutton’s Åmphiura parva to be only 
a synonym of this species. 
A few more additions to the Ophiuroid fauna of New Zealand 
are found in H. L. Clark’s “Catalogue of Recent Ophiurans” 
1905,“) viz. Ophiocormus notabilis and Ophiozonoida picia, both col- 
lected by Farquhar; further the New Zealand Ophiomyxa is de- 
scribed as a new species, O. brevirima. — Lastly F. Jeffrey Bell 
in 1917 in his Report on the Echinoderms of the British Antarctic 
(“Terra Nova”) Expedition adds four new Ophiuroids to the New 
Zealand Fauna, viz. Ophiothrix sp., Astroporpa Wilsoni, Astroschema 
elegans and Astrotoma benhami, all dredged off the North of New 
Zealand, the three latter being new to science. 
In the present paper 9 new species and 3 new varieties are 
described, namely: 
Ophiocreas longipes 
Gorgonocephaliis chilensiSy var. novæ-zelandiæ 
Ophiacantha vilis 
Åmphiura spinipes 
„ alba 
„ hinemoæ 
„ amokuræ 
„ • annulifera 
„ eugeniæ, var. latisquama 
Ophionephthys stewartensis 
Ophiactis profundi, var. novæ-zelandiæ 
Pectinura gracilis 
Two more species, Astroschema sp. and Åmphiura sp. are pro- 
bably new, but are too young to be identified with certainty. 
The following 5 species are recorded as new to the New Zea¬ 
land fauna: 
0 The Subantarctic Islands of New Zealand. 1909. Art. Xlll. W. B. Ben¬ 
ham. The Echinoderms, other than Holothurians, of the Subantarctic 
Islands of New Zealand.
