Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. n. A genus of euryalean ophiurians, or branching sand-stars, of the family Astrophytidæ: so called from the popular name gorgon's-head. The genus resembles Astrophylon proper, but is less branched, with the arms narrow at the base, and the discal plates differently arranged.
