178 K. MITRFKURI : STUDIES ON 



nets in Yodomi in 80 fathoms. Strangely enongli, the species is 

 also found in about the same depth in the Japan Sea in 

 Hakui District, Province of Note, for the specimens from which 

 locality I am indebted to the goodwill of Mr. Y. Snioi. There 

 the specimens, dried for commerce, are known as " Mukade-iriko." 

 It is therefore reasonable to suppose that the species will be 

 found in intermediate stations. 



This species is near to Stichojms griecji Östeegren, but I can 

 not detect any X-shaj^ed spicules below the layer of tables. 

 Moreover the calcareous bodies in the cloacal wall, etc., are much 

 more complex than in that species. 



I have pleasure in naming this after my friend, Mr. A. Owston, 

 who has been instrumental in bringing up many treasures from 

 the depths of the Sagami Sea, and to whom I owe some specimens 

 of this species.
