A considerable number of specimens were collected at the 
following localities; where no depth is indicated, it means that the 
specimens were collected under stones, at low water.

The species appears to be distributed all round the New Zea¬ 
land coasts, from North Cape to Stewart Island. Outside the New 
Zealand region it is not known. 
The development of this species I had the opportunity of 
studying, while staying in Wellington in February 1915. It was 
found to have a typical pelagic larva. The genital openings are 
situated on the dorsal side. (Cf. the Author s ‘^Studies of develop¬ 
ment and larval forms of Echinoderms” 1921; p. 187). 
To the descriptions of this species hitherto given I may add
