AH • iens are badly broken. One of those hom Stat. 49" has the centrodorsal 



,1 fl a t, lal, with the dorsal pole 6.5 mm. in diameter marked with faint radiating 



in the centre; the cirri are XXX. 17—19, 23 mm. or 24 mm. long; the cirri, 

 and in fact the whole animal, are less robust than those of the type series. 



other specimen is slightly smaller, bul exactly similar; the dorsal pole ol the centro 

 dor mm. in diameter; the cirri are XXVII, 17. 20 mm. long. 



arm Kas--,, centrodorsal and cirri are light flesh colour, the latter becoming pinkish 

 distally; the arms beyond the second syzygy are bright yellow-orange, regularly banded with 

 ai red as in C. rubroflava and in C. magnifica. 



The specimen from Stat. 294 has 13 arms; the three IIBr series are 4 (3 + 4); tne 

 of the centrodorsal is 3 mm. in diameter; the cirri are- XX. 16, 20 mm. to 2 2 mm. 

 1'liis example resembles the preceding, hut the centrodorsal is only half as broad ; con- 

 sequently the cirri appear shorter and more of the division series is visible.
