about 7 mm. across the disk and has arms 50-60 mm. long. It 

 agrees well with CHALLENGER cotypes.

*AMPHIURA CANDIDA. 



Ljungman, 1867. Oft. Kongl. Vet.-Akad. Forh., vol. 23, p. 318. 

 Koehler, 1904, Mem. Soc. Zool. France, vol. 17, p. 67, figs. 18, 19. 



Koehler has examined the holotype of this species and reports it 

 in such poor condition that he wrote his description and made his 

 figures from a specimen from Japan, now in the Vienna Museum 

 and identified by Marktanner-Turneretscher. It does not seem to 

 have occured to Koehler that the Japanese specimen was not iden- 

 tical with Ljungman's lone specimen from Mozambique, but it 

 seems to me more material must be collected and studied before 

 we can feel sure of it. No specimen has been taken south of Mo- 

 zambique, and referred to Candida, since Ljungman's type was 

 collected. 



AMPHIURA INCANA. 

 Lyman, 1879. Bull. M. C. Z., vol. 6, p. 20; pi. XI, figs. 285-287. 



This species is very near the preceding and I am inclined to 

 think that Ljungman's type of Candida was a specimen of incana, 

 while Marktanner-Turneretscher's specimen of Candida from which 

 Koehler's figures were made represents another species. But since 

 Ljungman's holotype is no longer identifiable (according to Koehler), 

 it might be just as well to let the name Candida stand for the 

 present for the Japanese species. Matsumoto (1917, Mon. Japan. 

 Oph., p. 201) however asserts, without comment, that Candida Mark. 

 Turn, is not Candida Ljungman, and treats it as a synonym of 

 euopla H. L. C. Until more material is available from the vicinity 

 of Mozambique, it will be impossible to definitely settle the matter. 

 Meanwhile the name Incana may be used for the South African 

 species. 



Lyman's types of incana came from Simon's Bay, 10-20 fms. 

 Bell lists the species from "off the South Head, Tugela River, N. 

 by W.", 4-75 miles, 25 fms., blk. m. but says he is not very con- 

 fident of the accuracy of his determination. This is odd, for the 

 species is unusually well characterized and Lyman's type is in the 

 British Museum! I have compared the PIETER FAURE material with
