 MuH. Comp. Zool., XVIII, 1895, p. 78, pi. B, figs. 1, la. 

 The differences which in my opinion separate this species from 

 C. rostrata oi the West Indian region were .clearly seen by Mr. Faxon. 

 He had before him seven specimens from stations 3362, 3400, and 

 3414. His conclusions were that "The AUatross specimens differ 

 constantly from the typical West Indian form in the following partic- 

 ulars: The spines at the antero-lateral angles of the carapace are more 

 divergent, the anterior spine being more nearly parallel witli the axis 

 of the body; the posterior spine is relatively longer; the abdomen 

 is smoother toward the central part of the segments; the dorsal spine 

 of the fourth abdominal segment is smaller. In other regards there 

 is considerable variation among different individuals." -
