Abstract
MAY I be allowed to point out to Mr. Stebbing that Comatula and Antedon are not precisely equivalent names, but that the genus Antedon represents only one of some five or six different types, to all of which “Lamarck's happily appropriate designation Comatula” is equally applicable; and that this is now generally used as a sort of family name, and only when strict scientific accuracy is not very important, as a generic name.
