Description of an Individual. — Diameter of disk 4.5 mm. Width of arm 

 without spines 1 mm. Four small scale-like mouth-papillec on each side of 

 an angle, and a pair at the apex. The papilla next the outermost one is com- 

 monly the largest. Mouth-shields about as broad as long, rounded, with a 

 slight peak within ; length to breadth, .6 : .6. Side mouth-shields small, and 

 extremely narrow within, where they barely meet. Their outer ends are 

 club-shaped. First under arm-plate minute and three-cornered ; those be- 

 yond are of a squarish shield-shape, with outer side straight, laterals a little 

 re-fenteringly curved, and an obtuse or truncated angle within. Side arm- 

 plates moderately stout, and nearly meeting above and below. Upper arm- 

 plates transverse oval, and about twice as broad as long. Disk rather thick, 

 and covered above and below with small, crowded, overlapping, somewhat 

 irregular scales, of which there are seven or eight in the length of 1 mm. In 

 centre of upper surface are the small, round, widely separated primary plates. 

 Along edge of genital scale is a row of fine papillae. Radial shields small, nar- 

 row, and separated by bunches of scales ; their length is about .8 nmi. Three 

 rather stout, rounded, tapering arm-spines, about as long as a joint ; the middle 

 one being somewhat the longest. One oval tentacle-scale on the side arm- 

 plate, and a smaller and narrower one on the under plate. Color in alcohol, 

 pale gray. 



Station 158, Montserrat, 148 fathoms, 1 specimen. 



This species is perhaps nearest to A. tumida, from which it differs in having 

 much larger mouth-papillse, and a row of papillae along the genital scale.
