er der intet saadant imellem dem, og da ere de umiddel- 
bart forenede med hinanden. 
Odontophoren, der er temmelig stor med vingeformede 
Sideudbredninger, har et Indsnit saavel paa Oral- som 
Ventralsiden med en liden Dorsalapophyse, Fig. 7, f. 
Skelettet. . Ambulacralpladernes Tverprocesser ende 
med et bredt Indsnit, der ganske omfatter de temmelig 
smaa, afrundede Adambulacralpladers øvre, næsten lige 
Rand, hvorved disse saagodtsom ganske skjules. Ambula- 
eralaabningerne danne to regelmæssige Linier, ligefra Ski- 
ven til Armens Ende. Adambulacralpladerne bære dels 
en, dels to Papiller, hvoraf den inderste altid er den 
leengste. 
Ocularpladen er liden, stærkt buet!; dens yderste Rand 
er forsynet med smaa Kalkpapiller. 
Farven. Ryggen smuk høirød med hvide Pedicellarier 
omkring Piggene. Bugen hvid.

Dr. Stuxberg har i sin Meddelelse over Echinodermer 
fra Novaja Semlja i korte Drag beskrevet ovennævnte Sø- 
stjerne, hvoraf der paa Nordhavsexpeditionen blev fundet 
endel Exemplarer, der efter Stuxbergs Maal at dømme ere 
betydelig større, end de af ham fundne. 
Legemet er femarmet, og dets Diameter fra den ene 
Armspids til ‘den anden 470". Den lille Radius forholder 
sig til den store som 1: 11/2. 
Armene ere stærkt hvælvede paa Rygfladen, næsten 
flade paa Bugsiden. De ere smale ved deres Udspring, 
omtrent 80”” 1 Omkreds, imedens de opnaa den største 
Tykkelse, 112”" i Omkreds, henimod 25"” fra Skivens 
Den norske Nordhavsexpedition.

careous plates, already spoken of, and which may be con- 
sidered to be ventro-marginal plates. — These, occasion- 
ally, unite with the dorso-marginal plates by means of a 
small narrow calcareous ossicle; sometimes, there is no 
such ossicle between them, in which case, they become di- 
rectly united to each other. 
The odontophore is rather large, with wing-formed lat- 
eral extensions, and has a groove on both the oral and 
ventral surfaces, with a small dorsal apophysis (fig. 7,/f). 
The skeleton. The transverse processes of the am- 
bulacral plates terminate in a broad groove, which, includes 
completely, the rather small, superior, rounded, almost 
straight margin of the adambulacral plates, causing them 
to be nearly quite concealed. The ambulacral openings 
form two regular lines, extending, right from the disk to 
the extremity of the rays. The adambulacral plates carry, 
sometimes, one, sometimes, two papillæ, of which, the in- 
ner one is always the longest. 
The ocular plate, is small; sharply arched; its exterior 
margin is furnished with small calcareous papillæ. 
The colour. — The abactinal surface is a beautiful 
vermillion, with white pedicellariæ around the spines. The 
actinal surface is white.

In his report upon Echinodermata from Nova Zembla, 
Dr. Stuxberg gives a short description of this starfish, a 
number of specimens of which, were discovered during the 
North-Atlantic Expedition, which, compared with the meas- 
urements given by Stuxberg, are considerably larger than 
these found by him. 
The body is 5-rayed; and the diameter, when meas- 
ured from one brachial extremity to the opposite brachial 
extremity, is 470”". The disk radius bears to the brach- 
ial radius, the proportion of, as 1 :11!/,. 
The rays are sharply rounded on the abactinal sur- 
face, and almost flat on the actinal surface. They are nar- 
row at the origin, and in this situation, measure about 
80”” in circumference, whilst their greatest thickness is
