Of the 3 specimens from the Malay archipelago in 292 meters 2 have about 40 

 arms which are 70 mm. long; the third is highly irregular and will be described under 

 the abnormal specimens. 



The 3 specimens from the Sunda Straits were studied by Carpenter. He gave 

 the name of the collector as "Regnault" instead of Reynaud. Carpenter wrote that 

 the cirrus spines in these specimens are of smaller size than those of Peron and 

 Lesueur's specimen from the Australian seas (the type of Lamarck's Jimbriata) and 

 also appear on fewer segments ; he noted also that in one of these specimens there are 

 only 6 IIBr series so that there are only 16 arms instead of the usual 20. I reexamined 

 these specimens at Paris in 1910. 



Carpenter wrote that the 2 specimens from Anjer ["Angio"] in Java have over- 

 lapping brachials. 



Of the 2 specimens from Sebesi Strait, 1 has 16 arms 90 mm. long, the other 14 

 arms 90 mm. long. 



One of the specimens from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 85 

 has 1+3, 2 + 3, 2 + 4, 1 + 1,2 + 4 = 23 arms; of the 8 IIBr series present 6 are 4 (3 + 4) 

 and 2 are 2 ; of the 5 IIIBr series 4 are 3 (2 + 3) and 1, following a IIBr 2 series, is 2. 

 The brachials are very short, almost discoidal. The cirri are XIX, 23-24, 20 mm. 

 long. The other specimen has 1 + 1, 3+1, 4+1, 3 + 3, 4 + 1=22 arms; there are 

 5 IIBr series, all 4 (3 + 4), and 7 IIIBr series, all 3 (2 + 3). Five arms arise direct 

 from a IBr axillary. The brachials are very short, almost discoidal. The cirri are 

 XII, 23-26. 



The specimen from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 103 is very 

 small with 11 arms about 30 mm. long; the cirri are. XI, 15, from 4 to 6 mm. long. 



The example from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 75 has 30 

 arms 100 mm. long; the cirri are rather unusually stout, most of them with the longest 

 segments scarcely so long as broad. 



Of the 5 specimens from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 73 one 

 has 20 arms 90 mm. long; there are 10 IIBr 4 (3 + 4) series. Another has 17 arms up 

 to 75 mm. in length; this individual is undergoing adolescent autotomy; 2 of the post- 

 radial series have 2 IIBr series each, the other 3 one each; all the IIBr series are 4 

 (3 + 4). A small specimen has 17 arms. One example has 15 arms 90 mm. long; 

 there are 5 IIBr 4 (3 + 4) series. The fifth specimen is small, with 12 arms 70 mm. 

 long. 



The specimen from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 107 is 

 small, 'with 28 arms 80 mm. long. 



One of the specimens from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 67 

 has 43 arms; of the 10 IIBr series 9 are 4 (3 + 4) and 1 is 3; of the 19 IIIBr series 16 

 are 3 (2 + 3), 2 are 1, and 1 is 2; there are 4 IVBr series, all 3 (2 + 3). The brachials 

 in the proximal third of the arms are short triangular, about two and one-half times 

 as broad as the maximum outer length or slightly shorter. The cirri are XV, 20-22. 

 Another specimen has 35 arms about 75 mm. long; of the 10 IIBr series 7 are 4 (3 + 4) 

 and 3 are 2. A similar specimen has 32 arms. 



One of the examples from the Danish Expedition of the Kei Islands station 

 101 has 20 arms 80 mm. long; there are 9 IIBr series, of which 8 are 4 (3 + 4) and 1
