18 ART. 9. — K. KISHIXOUYE : 



This species is very closely allied to C. ferruginea Escliscliolz 

 and C. 2^ostehii Brandt, but differs from either of these in the 

 form of ephyra-lobe, ocular pouch, color, etc. 



Many Amphipods and immature stages of codfish and other 

 fishes belonging to the Cottidse are often found among the oral 

 curtains or under the umbrella. 



Cjjanea purpurea^ n. sp. 



(PI. IV, Figs. 18, 19.) 



The umbrella is discoidal. Its radius is about three times 

 as long as the radius of the stomach cavity. The umbrella margin 

 is divided into sixteen ephyra-lobes which are broad and rather 

 truncate at end. 



The peripheral branches of the radial pouches are branched 

 several times and anastomose with one another, forming a com- 

 plicated meshw^ork. The breadth of the ocular pouch at the level 

 of the sensory club is about half that of the tentacular pouch. 

 The lateral margin of these radial pouches is uneven with numerous 

 processes. 



The muscular system of subumbrella is well developed. Out- 

 side the stomach cavity, there are about thirteen concentric ridges ; 

 besides, there are about five concentric ridges in the proximal par 

 of the oral tube. In the tentacular region, there are sixteen 

 bundles of radial ridges, there being about twelve of these in each 

 bundle. 



The tentacles are numerous and are grouped in eight horse- 

 shoe-shaped tracts. There are about five rows of tentacles at the 

 proximal base of the tract. 



The umbrella is violet colored, while the oral arms are reddish.
