In the Channel Islands I foundit in August 1839 at low water in Herm. I doubt not this species will be found on the coasts ofFrance, and in the north of Europe. Starfishes do notseem to be so local in their distribution as Mollusca andthe higher classes of animals. Indeed, the remark maybe extended to the radiate animals generally ; for amongthem we find more forms, in proportion to their numbers,common to great tracts of ocean, without reference toclimate, than in any other division of the animal s balls brittle-star. 35 OPIIIUMD&. 0P1UURM.
