The details of the specimens are as follows : 



Stat. 49 a ; twenty-seven of these are fully grown, with the arms up to about 130 mm. 

 in length, while thirty-one represent various immature stages. All are, more or less pronoun- 

 cedly, of the broad armed type. One of the fully grown is purple, the others being yellow 

 brown ; one of the young is orange, the others yellow or yellow brown. This series closely 

 resembles that from Stat. 162. 



Stat. 50 ; two of the specimens have the anterior arms about 1 10 mm. long; another 

 has the anterior arms 90 mm. long and the postenor 60 mm. long, with four ungrooved ; the 

 last is small. The arms are rather slender, with only a suggestion of an approach to the stout type. 



Stat. 79; the arms are about 90 mm. long, of the slender type; the cirri are XII, 13 — 14. 



Stat. 79 b ; a small individual, the arms being only 27 mm. long. 



Stat. 96; another small specimen, with arms 25 mm. long. 



Stat. 99; the largest has arms 75 mm. long and XIII cirri; another has arms 70 mm. 

 long, the posterior arms 55 mm. long, and XI cirri; this example has eleven arms; there are 

 four others similar to the preceding, and six more medium and small, all of the slender armed type. 



Stat. 162; the largest has the anterior arms 135 mm. and the posterior 85 mm. in 

 length, all very broad and stout; five of the arms are ungrooved; another large specimen 

 has the anterior arms 120 mm. and the posterior 60 mm. long; five of the arms are un- 

 grooved; a third has the anterior arms about 100 mm. and the posterior 60 mm. long, all 

 stout and broad; five of the arms are ungrooved, and 011 the others only the distal pinnules 

 are grooved; a fourth, also of the broad armed type, has the posterior arms 60 mm. long, 

 very stout, stouter than the anterior arms ; five of the arms are ungrooved ; the cirri are X, 

 10 — 11, 8 mm. to 9 mm. long; a fifth resembles the preceding; the eight medium sized 

 specimens all have broad and stout arms, this character being especially marked in the pos- 

 terior; usually five of the arms are ungrooved; the seven small specimens are similar; the 

 broadening of the arms is marked in individuals with an arm length of only 35 mm. or 40 mm. 



Stat. 164; the anterior arms are 120 mm., the posterior 70 mm. in length; six of the 

 arms are grooved and four ungrooved ; on the former only the distal pinnules are grooved ; 

 all the arms are rather stout, but not excessively so ; the centrodorsal is greatly reduced, and 

 bears only two cirri, one 7 mm. long with 1 2 segments, the other 6.5 mm. long with 1 1 ; 

 there are also two rudimentary cirri ; the colour is yellow brown, each articulation with two 

 dark spots one on either side of the median line ; the articulations in the basal portion of 

 the pinnules bear single dark spots. 



Stat. 273; the larger specimen has the anterior arms 120 mm. and the posterior 45
