 A.M.C.] I agree with these Russian authors in considering maxima as a geographic subspecies 

 of glacialis and have accordingly omitted the term "variety" from the heading above. 



Subspecific characters. There appear to be no tangible differences between this 

 and the typical form except in size, which averages much larger. The arms reach a 

 length of 350 mm. and the cirri a length of 115 mm. as contrasted with a maximum, 

 rarely attained, of 265 mm. and 91 mm. in arctic specimens of glacialis glacialis. 



Abnormal specimen. An example from Albatross station 5017 has 12 arms, due to 

 the existence of two IBr series in one radial area (see vol. 1, part 2, fig. 164, p. 86 and 

 fig. 1348, pi. 54). These two IBr series are closely crowded with their longitudinal 

 axes approximately at right angles, the adjacent sides of the IBrj projecting consider- 

 ably from the centrodorsal, the opposite sides mainly concealed beneath it. The arms 

 borne by these two IBr series and the arms on the other four IBr series are normal in 

 structure; but the outer arm from the left-hand one of the paired IBr series has the 

 first brachial fused with the axillary of the adjacent IBr series, the second brachial 

 fused with the dorsal surface of the first and lower part of the second brachial of the 

 same series, with its pinnule arising from a point over the second brachial of the nor- 

 mal arm, and its first syzygial pair (brachials 3+4) fused with the lateral border of 

 the second brachial of the normal arm; the remaining brachials of the two arms are 

 free.
