Imost meet, being separated only by .1 narrowly V-shaped cleft running to the 



of the inner edge of the iynarthrial joint face; though the dors. il surface of the segment 



is well rounded, the distai ntral canal to 1 1 1 « - median pari of the dorsal edge is 



at as the dista om the central panal to the inner angle; counting the entire 



median length of the joint face the broadest portion is found t<> be scarcelj more than one 



third of the «list. uu-e from the dorsal edge to the inner angle; the ossicle is sharply "wall- 



.' from its widesl point inward; the axillaries are low, rhombic, with the lateral angles 



truncated so th.it lateral • Iges are about as long as the lateral edges of the IBr' twio a 



I as long; there is an ol well rounded median carination; the distal angle is pmduced, 



hut broad; the dorsal su ■ rather strongly convex; the lower portions of the axillaries 



are strongly produced inward so that, as in the case of the IBr,, the inner sides are reduced 

 almost to apices which nearly meet the similar inner ends of the other axillaries; from this 

 central point the inner face of the axillaries slopes away almost horizontally so that the inner 

 ■ of the axillaries, together with the division series, form the platform upon which the 

 :ral mass rests; the sides of the inner half of the axillaries are sharply "wall-sided"; the 

 [IBr similar to the IBr series, hut rapidly decrease in dorsoventral width; they are 



sharply flattened laterally tor somewhat more than their inner half; the first two brachials are 

 flattened laterally tor their entire inner side, and the third and fourth are flattened on the 

 inner portion of the inner side. 



nineteen arms are 145 mm. long. All of the IIBr series are 2. 

 1' is slender and evenly tapering, 9 mm. to 10 mm. long, composed of from twenty-six 

 to thirty-one segments all of which are much hroader than long. I', is similar, hut very slightly 

 stouter, ol the same length or very slightly longer, composed of twenty-five segments of which 

 the outermost are about as long as broad. P, is 1 1 mm. long, composed of twenty-two 

 nents; in general it resembles P, . but the segments in the distal half are about as long 

 as broad. 1', is 1 1 mm. long with twenty segments which become as long as broad on the 

 fifth or sixth, and slightly longer than broad terminally. P. is 9 mm. long with (ïfteen segments, 

 most ol which are about as long as broad. P e is S mm. long with fourteen segments, and 

 1' is 7 mm. long with thirteen segments. The distal pinnules are slender, 10 mm. long with 

 twenty segments. < >n the genital pinnules the third-seventh segments are very slightly, almost 

 imperceptibly, broadi 1 



I he coloor, in alcohol, is brownish white, the centrodorsal and division series brownish grey. 



Another specimen, similar to the one just described but smaller Cat. .V 35707 U.S. 



Nat. Mus.), was dredged by the "Albatross" off southern Luzon, Philippine Islands, in 24;, 



Meti Stat. 51101; it also has nineteen arms; the fourth-tenth segments of the genital pinnules 



>mewha1 led, considerably more so than in the preceding.
