Extract

So little is as yet known of the Palæozoic Ophiuroidea, that the discovery of some specimens that represent a new species of Protaster in the Upper Silurian rocks of Victoria is of interest. Some of the specimens were forwarded to Dr. Woodward by Mr. Frederick McKnight, of 60, Hawke Street, West, Melbourne, Victoria, some time ago, but they were too fragmentary to be of much service; several better examples having been received from the same source, Dr. Woodward has kindly entrusted them to me for description.
