HELIOMETRINAE 



iSi 



distal edges of the lower brachials are not everted into strong spiny ridges at right angles 

 to the dorsal surface as in F. mawsoni. The cirri, although they do not comprise more 

 or many more segments than those of F. mawsoni, are much heavier and longer.

It appears from my own counts and those of others that the cirri of large specimens 

 may be numerically described as follows : L-LXX, 60-86, up to 90 mm. long. 



Gislen says that some of the segments of the proximal pinnules are expanded and 

 that it thus "forms a transition to the Isometrinae". It is the segments of the genital 

 pinnules along which the gonad lies that are expanded, and they are a little more ex- 

 panded in the female than the male. Figures are given (Fig. 5): the female pinnule is 

 from a well preserved Terra Nova specimen with nearly complete arms which are
