addition to the type locality, it was secured by the "Siboga" in the 

 Malaysian region and by the * 'Albatross" in the Eastern Pacific, 

 from off Manzanilla, Mexico, southward off the coast of Central 

 America, as far as Guatemala, abundantly in the Galapagos Archi- 

 pelago, both within and without the Humboldt Current, but it is 

 not yet recorded from the Panamic region. 



Material examined: Fourteen superior nectophores and a 

 colony with two nectophores still connected, dredged in 140 

 fathoms, in Flores Straits, near Larantuka Village, Flores Island, 

 Dutch East Indies, November, 1931. 



The smallest specimen is 5 millimeters long and one of the 

 largest nectophores is 12 millimeters long. The remainder form 

 a series intermediate in size between these two, with more than 

 half the collection in the longer group. 



The excellent description of this species by Chun (1892), aug- 

 mented by Bigelow's discussion (1911), makes further analysis 

 unnecessary.
