The star-fishes recorded in the present communication were dredged by Mr John Murray during the cruise of H.M.S. “Triton” (under the command of Staff-Commander Tizard, R.K), whilst investigating the nature of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge and the adjacent portions of the Faeröe Channel. All the forms, excepting these from Station 3, were obtained from deep water, and the collection, as a whole, is both rich and interesting. One species and two well-marked varieties have not hitherto been described, and two other species have only been found once previously. The series consequently forms a valuable supplement to the collections made during the cruises of H.M.S. “Porcupine” and the “Knight Errant,” and is an important addition to our knowledge of the fauna of this region of the Atlantic. I propose to reserve any remarks upon the general character of the asterid fauna of the Faeröe Channel until treating of the collections obtained during the “Porcupine” and “Lightning” cruises.
