 half. 



Localities. Siboga station 297; Timor Sea (lat. 1039' S., long. 12340' E.); 520 

 meters; soft gray mud with brown upper layer; January 27, 1900 [A. H. Clark, 1912, 

 1916, 1918; Gislen, 1928] (4, U.S.N.M., E. 424, Amsterdam Mus.). 



Menado Bay, northern Celebes (lat. 131' N., long. 12447' E.) ; 457 meters; Captain 

 Christiansen, cable repair ship Nordiske, Great Northern Telegraph Company, March 

 12, 1913 (5, C. M.). 



Geographical range. From the Timor Sea northward to northern Celebes. 



Bathymetrical range. From 457 to 520 meters. 



History. Glyptometra timorensis was described in 1912 on the basis of four speci- 

 mens from Siboga station 297. It was referred to Perissometra on the establishment of 

 that genus in 1916. In my memoir on the unstalked crinoids of the Siboga Expedition 

 published in 1918 Perissometra timorensis was described in detail and figured. In 1928 

 Prof. Torsten Gislen wrote that timorensis, together with patula, lata,flexilis, and aranea 

 (=Parametra orion), should be included in the genus Perissometra, whereas all Perisso- 

 metras with the ILBr series 4(3 + 4) ought to be referred to Crossometra.

Diagnostic features. A highly ornamented rather small and slender species; the 

 ossicles of the division series and earlier brachials have abruptly everted borders, a low, 

 narrow, sharp, and prominent median keel, and more or less numerous small beady 

 tubercles or capitate spines scattered over the dorsal surface; the 10-18 (usually 10-12) 

 arms are 100140 mm. long; the IIBr series are 4(3 + 4) or 2; and the cirri, which are 

 arranged in 10 rows on the centrodorsal, have 11-15 rather long segments.
