teenth brachial the second syzygy is between brachials 9+10 and the third is between 

 brachials 13 + 14. The distal intersyzygial interval is usually 4, less commonly 3, 

 and very seldom 5 muscular articulations. 



PI is estimated to have about 15 segments with only one short basal segment; 

 the second segment is already somewhat longer than broad, and the following segments 

 are slender and greatly elongated, up to 1.5 mm. in length. No pinnule is entire. 

 The best preserved is 10 mm. long, with 13 segments. The length of an uninjured 

 pinnule is estimated as about 12 to 13 mm. No P a is entire. The best preserved has 

 10 segments, of which the first is short and those following are as in PI. Apparently 

 P a is not shorter than PI. P 2 is in no case entire. The best preserved also has elon- 

 gated segments with the exception of the two short basal ones. There are in all 7 

 segments preserved. Apparently P 2 is smaller and more slender than P!. Of the later 

 pinnules, of which a few segments are preserved, it can only be said that the two basal 

 segments are short, those following elongate. In addition it may be noted that on the 

 distal arm fragments the pinnules show a peculiar condition in the second short basal 

 segment. The distal border is not straight but is drawn out into a small proximally 

 directed point; besides, the articulation between the first and second segments is 

 broader than the others. 



The disk is 9 mm. in diameter, unplated and not incised. The arms are free 

 beyond the third brachial. Sacculi were not found. 



In color the skeleton is uniform white, the disk gray, and the brachial ambulacra 

 yellow brown. 



The single specimen upon which this species is based was badly broken, and 

 Hartlaub said that it was only after long hesitation that he decided to describe it. 

 Also, Carpenter to all appearances had considered it as representing a new species, 

 as was shown by the figure he had prepared. Carpenter left no specific designation 

 with the specimen, only the Blake label having been found with it. But Hartlaub 

 considered that the characters given in his description were sufficient to justify the 

 establishment of a new species.
