ECniNODERMATA. 123Strangely enough, De Blainville himself is not free from error inthe matter, for after Lesson's name he places the words " Voyagede rUranie," a voyage with which Lesson had not the close relationthat he had with that of the ' Coquille,' and in the account of whichno Echinoderms are described or figured.A.

The two specimens are very different in appearance: one has eleven arms, of Avhich none are remarkably smallerthan the rest ; the other, which has five arms left, and appears tohave had six, has one arm much longer than the others, and hasthree small subequal arms.* For the majority of the Asteroiclea I shall give only one reference, andthat to Perrier's ' Revision des Stellerides ' (Paris, 1875), following its paginationas a sej)arate work.
