Stichorella — 
Calvasterias- 
While no specimens of this species were collected on the New 
Zealand coasts, the author found one specimen on a floating Les- 
sonia 1 mile E. of Auckland Island, 28/XI. 1914. — Some specimens 
collected at Godley Head, near Lyttelton, on rocks, at low tide, 
were received from Mr. W. R. B. Oliver. 
The genus Stichorella, established by Koehler for this species, 
is maintained by Fisher to be synonymous with Calvasterias 
Perrier; it appears to me that Fisher is perfectly right herein. 
To the careful descriptions by de Loriol, Farquhar and Koehler 
I need only add a few remarks on the pedicellariæ. 
Koehler (Op. cit. p. 88) States that the crossed pedicellariæ 
present no peculiar features except that of their basal part being 
rather strongly developed relatively to the length of the valves. I 
do not agree that this is the only peculiarity of these pedicellariæ. 
The valves are rather peculiar in being of a much less elaborate 
structure than usually found in the crossed pedicellariæ. Only very 
few teeth are developed on the blade and arranged without any 
definite order. The edge is irregularly serrate and no regular series 
of teeth follow inside, as otherwise usual in this sort of pedicellariæ. 
The blade also is more distinctly concave than usual, and the shaft 
is of reticulate structure, not glassy as is otherwise the case in 
the crossed pedicellariæ. (Fig. 16.a). Upon the whole, it is evident
