Scientific results of the trawling expedition of H.M.C.S. "Thetis" off the coast of New South Wales, in February and March, 1898, supplement to Echinodermata
Abstract
In the report on the "Thetis" Echinoderms Prof. H. L. Clark referred two specimens of a fine large Asteroid to Nectria ocellifera, Lamk. Subsequent to the publication of his paper, he found that a mistake had been made. He therefore wrote to the Curator of this Museum pointing out that the specimens in question really constituted a new species of the genus Asterodiscus, Gray; at the same time suggesting that I should describe it. For this compliment I wish to tender my grateful acknowledgment.
