the synonymy and the habitat of each. The errors made in 1908 in regard to the 

 habitats of the last two were repeated. The diagnosis of Cenometra insueta was 

 repeated, and figures of a cirrus in lateral and dorsal view were given. 



Dr. Hubert Lyman Clark in 1915 pom ted out that the legends of the figures 

 of the cirri of Cenometra insueta and of C. herdmani published by the author in 1912 

 had been interchanged and that the lateral and dorsal views of a cirrus labeled Ceno- 

 metra herdmani in reality represented a cirrus of C. insueta. 



Dr. Torsten Gisle"n hi 1922 recorded and described in detail a specimen of Ceno- 

 metra bella from Dr. Sixten Bock's Expedition to Japan, 1914, station 49, and in 1924 

 discussed various structural features of the species. In 1936 Dr. Gisl^n recorded and 

 described a specimen from Annam and remarked that it was doubtful whether uni- 

 cornis could be kept separate from bella. In 1940 he recorded and gave notes on one 

 specimen from Fiji collected by Dr. Sixten Bock in 1917, and three from the Marshall 

 Islands collected by Dr. Chr. Hessle in the same year. He considered these as 

 representing a new form, which he called Cenometra bella var. magnifica.

Diagnostic features.- The basal segments of the proximal pinnules, with the excep- 

 tion of P 2 , are carinate. There are 20-30 arms. P 2 is more slender than it is in C. 

 bella. 



Description. This species resembles C. bella in general appearance, but it is 

 more slender, especially hi regard to the cirri. 



P 2 is comparatively slender and short, being only very slightly, when at all, 

 longer than P t ; it is composed of relatively few segments, these numbering less than 

 20. There is no carination on the basal segments of P 2 , though those of P 3 and the 

 following pinnules are conspicuously carinate. 



The paired dorsal tubercles on the cirrus segments, which are small, are very close 

 together, their apices being separated by less than half the transverse width of the 

 segments. 



The arms are about 30 hi number. 



The color in alcohol is flesh color, the cirri and P 2 dull straw yellow, with a grayish 

 wash on the disk which extends more or less over the division series; or, deep purple, 

 evenly studded with small circular black spots, the cirri yellow-brown; or, flesh color 

 with purple bands on the arms.
