arms, but becoming confluent toward their ends; in the adults the spots are hardly 

 apparent. 



Nutting refers to the color as brownish. 



Notes [BY A.M.C.]. There are four specimens in the British Museum from off 

 Sombrero Key received from the Museum of Comparative Zoology. These are pre- 

 sumably some of those from Bibb station 6P. The peripheral cirri usually have about 

 20 segments but the largest has up to 25, though the proportions of the segments are 

 similar to those in the above description (fig. 14,d). Another difference is that the 

 form of P 2 varies. In one or two cases it is very like Pj with short numerous (about 

 30) segments (fig. 14, b) but usually it is a genital pinnule and the segments are reduced 

 in number to about 15 to 20 and are much more elongated, varying to the other 

 extreme shown in fig. 14, c.
