Three specimens from the Chatham Island, received from Mr. 
W. R. B. Oliver, may well be referred to this species, as is done 
by Farquhar and Benham. 
It would appear to be this species which is recorded from the 
Cook Strait, under the name Cribrella ornata, by Fil hol. (Cf. 
Ben ham. Op. cit.). As I have no specimens from this locality 
myself, and as the specimens from the Chatham Islands at my 
disposal are in a very poor State of preservation, I shall refrain 
from any discussion of this species. 
Farquhar (Op. cit.) thinks that Hutton’s Henricia oculata 
belongs to this species, while Hutton himself (Trans. N. Z. Inst. 
1878, p. 306) declares it to be Echinaster fallax M. Tr. (— luzonica 
M. Tr.). It is no very important matter, which is the correct ident- 
ification. If Hutton is right, his specimen is certainly not of 
New Zealand origin.

In his Report on the Echinoderms of the Subantarctic Islands 
(p. 298—300) Ben ham States that the specimens of ''Henricia 
ornata” from the Auckland-Campbell Islands may be divided into 
two sets, A and B, the former with a single, the latter with a 
double row of spines on the adambulacral plates. My material of
