The distribution of the species of recent crinoids on the coasts of Australia offers an interesting problem in the study of zoogeogra,ph;-.

JVhile it may be suggested that as yet our records are not sufficiently numerous to warrant drawing any sweeping conclusions, still they are numerous enough to warrant presentation in such form as to indicate the differences in the faiiiid condit,ions 011 the southern. eastern and western coasts, and to serve thereby as a stirnuhis for future intensive w~ork.

Two faunal units are represented in Xustri~lia,, (I) the East Indian, or Malayan, and c2) the Australian, the latter being subdivided into (a) a Tropical and (b) a southern section.

The distribution of the species incladed in each of t8hese is as follows :
