A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CRINOIDS 171 



stricted with expanded distal ends, this expansion of the ends being especially marked 

 dorsally so that the dorsal profile of the cirrus is rather strongly serrate, but this 

 dies away distally so that after the tenth segment the dorsal profile becomes smooth 

 and straight. The fifth is a more or less marked transition segment. The five arms 

 are 55 mm. long. P 2 is composed of 12-13 segments as in the type specimen. This 

 individual differs from the type only in its slightly greater size. 



The specimen from Siboga station 49a has the ornamentation of the brachials 

 slightly more accentuated than in the preceding. 



Parasite. The largest individual from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands 

 station 24 has a small parasitic gastropod of the genus Melanella (see Part 2, pages 

 645-649) attached to it.

 by Dr. Th. Mortensen in the Philippines in 1914 and in the Kei Islands in 1922 and
