P, is 10 mm. long with 14 to 15 segments. The first segment is slightly longer 

 than broad at the base with very slightly divergent sides; the second segment is half 

 again as long as broad at the base and more than twice as long as broad at the distal 

 end; the sides are rather strongly convergent in the proximal half, becoming parallel 

 in the distal half. From the distal end of the second segment the pinnule tapers 

 slowly and gradually to the tip, which is moderately slender, but not flagellate. The 

 third segment is twice as long as broad and the sixth and following are from two and 

 a half to three times as long as broad. 



P 2 is 8 mm. long with 12 segments, resembling P! but slightly less stout basally. 



P 3 is 6.5 mm. long with 12 segments, resembling P 2 and scarcely or not at all less 

 stout basally than P 2 but becoming more slender in the distal portion. 



P 4 is 5 mm. long with 1 1 to 12 segments, less stout basally than P 3 and becoming 

 very slender in the distal half. The distal ends of the segments are slightly produced 

 and finely spinous, this feature becoming conspicuous in the outer half. 



[NOTE BY A.M.C.] The paratype from Siboga station 251 also has a development 

 of stumplike spines on the proximal ossicles but, besides those on the lateral parts of 

 the IBrj, there is a row of about six along the edge of each radial (see fig. 23,a). The 

 centrodorsal is 3.0 mm. in diameter and 2.6 mm. high in this specimen and the arm 

 width at the first syzygy is 1.3 mm.
