Af denne Søstjerne har Wyville Thomson i ,,Depths 
of the Sea“ leveret i Træsnit en ret god Figur fra Ryg- 
siden og i et Par Linier omtalt den paa tolgende Maade: 
»Korethraster hispidus sp. n., with the whole of the upper 
surface covered with long free paxillæ-like sable brushes. 
Ranges of delicate spatulate spines border the ambulacral 
grooves. As in Pteraster, there is a double row of con- 
ical water feet.“ Senere har Marenzeller! givet en mere 
udførlig Beskrivelse af denne Søstjernes Ydre, hvortil vi 
nu skulle tilfoie Resultaterne af de Undersøgelser, vi have 
anstillet paa de faa Exemplarer (et voxent og to Unger), 
der have staaet til vor Raadighed, idet vi henvise til oven- 
nævnte Beskrivelse.

In ,,Depths of the Sea, Wyville Thomson has given 
a woodcut, which supplies a very good illustration of the 
abactinal aspect of this starfish, and speaks of it, shortly, 
as follows. ,, Korethraster hispidus, sp. n., with the. whole“ 
,of the upper surface covered with long free paxillæ-like* 
»sable brushes. Ranges of delicate spatulate spines border“ 
»the ambulacral grooves. As in Pteraster there is a double“ 
row of conical water feet* Marenzeller*) has, subsequently, 
supplied a more detailed description of the appearance of 
this starfish, and, to his description, we shall now add the 
results, of the examinations we have instituted, on the few 
specimens (one old one and two young ones) which we 
have had at our disposal, whilst, we also crave the read- 
ers reference to the description referred to above.
