has never been figured either, so it may not be superfluous to 
give figures of it. For the rest only a few remarks on the pedi- 
cellariæ need be made, the figures published by Farquhar (Op. 
cit.) being not very adequate. The straight pedicellariæ are very 
prominent in the larger specimens, the larger ones widened and 
partly more or less serrate along the outer edge. Those on the disk, 
especially, are serrate and in the same time somewhat shorter and 
more robust; those along the ambulacral furrows are longer and 
somewhat more siender, and not serrate in the point. They are 
generally provided with some scattered teeth, or thorns, on the 
inside (Figs. 21.b—c). The crossed pedicellariæ are very character- 
istic in the teeth on the valves being finely serrate (Fig. 21.a). 
Like the preceding species A. scaber is known only from a very 
restricted area of the New Zealand coast, viz. from Mahia Peninsula 
to Akaroa. — Fisher has made this species the type of his genus 
Åstrostole.
