umbel rays forming a distinct broad bell-shaped terminal disk, 

 almost meeting the opposite one and attaining a breadth of 40/a to 56/^. 

 The shaft is 4ju, to 6/a thick and fairly rich in rounded tubercles on 

 all surfaces. Macramphidisks sometimes attain a length of 190/x 

 in the present specimen and have a bell-shaped terminal disk 45/x 

 long and 56)u, broad. 



The large uncinates in the type of the species are not abundant; 

 besides these, there is another form of large uncinates, similar to 

 those seen in many members of Dictyonina. On these the spines are 

 short, straight, and very oblique, nearly parallel, and closely applied 

 to the shaft.

The four complete specimens for wdiich I establish this new species 

 are nearly allied in outer configuration. The largest one, which I 

 shall designate with the letter A (holotype, U.S.N.M. No. 22027), 

 was collected from a spot 10 to 20 miles southwest of the Goto 

 Islands, at a depth of 106 fathoms (Station 4893). The remaining 

 three specimens (B-D) w^ere found off Kagoshima Gulf at 103 fath- 

 oms (Station 4934). Specimen A is a circular ball-like mass, 

 abruptly narrowed terminally, 43 mm high, and 37 mm broad at the 

 center. The nearly elliptical osculum measures 5 mm by 3.5 mm.
