from Stat. 153 has about 34 arms im mm. long. 



( >t the three from Stat. 360 one is large, one small, and 

 one verj small with only ten arms. 



All of those from Stat. 389 are small: one has 16 arms 

 35 mm. long; there are three IIBr 4(3 1 series each bearing 

 a llll'.r series of 2 internally; another lias 12 arms 35 mm. 

 long; there is a single IIBr 1 (3 + 4) series bearing a [IIBr 2 

 series internally developed; the third lias io arms 35 mm. long. 

 < 't the live specimens from Stat. 204 the largest has 

 15 arms 30 mm. long; there are two IIBr 4 (3 + 4), series, 

 one bearing internally a IIIBr 2 series, the other bearing two 

 [IIBr 2 series; another has 12 arms 25 mm. long; there is a 

 single IIBr 4 (3 + 4) s, -''i<-s which bears internally a IIIBr 2 

 series: a third has 10 arms 25 mm. long, and the remaining 

 two have earh 10 arms 15 mm. long. 



The largest specimen from Stat. 305 has about 30 arms 

 75 mm. long; the dorsal pole of the centrodorsal is flat, 2 mm. 

 in diameter; the cirri are XXI, 12 — 13, 10 mm. long; another has 30 arms 70 mm. long; 

 the cirri are 8 mm. long, composed of 9—10 segments; one of the cirri in this example is 

 curiously modified (Fig. 2, A)\ it is composed of 8 segments and measures 5 mm. in length; 

 the first three segments are of the normal type, but the following are strongly flattened 

 iventrally and greatly broadened, the normal distal dorsal spine occurring at each of the 

 distal angles of the segments. The six additional specimens are all small.

This specimen has 20 arms 65 mm. long and the cirri XIII, 14, 8 mm. long; the tl ft H

I in its smaller size and lesser number of arms this example agrees well with the
