inside of the blade. The straight pedicellariæ (Figs. 18.a—c) are 
short, simple, rather robust; the smaller ones may have some more 
or less distinet, coarse teeth at the point. 
This species is known to oceur only at the coasts of New Zea¬ 
land, from North Cape to Millford Sound. According to Koehler 
(Op. cit. p. 91) it is found also at the Auckland Island; but this, 
evidently, is due to a confusion of the town of Auckland, from 
where the type specimen came, with the Auckland Island.
