Palmyra aurifera Savigny, 1820, p. 17. — Audouin and Milne Edwards, 

 1832-1834, p. 110, pi. 2a, figs 1-6— Gbube, 1878, p. 13.— McIntosh, 1885, p. 53, 

 pi. 9, figs. 1, 2 ; pi. 6«, figs. 8, 9. 



I have doubtfully identified this species. Grube gave out no fig- 

 ures and the head is much larger and more distinct than Audouin and 

 Milne Edwards's figure. It agreed in general with the description 

 of Mcintosh, though much larger, measuring about 30 mm. in length 

 by 8 in breadth. 



Collected at station D5250, Linao Point, Gulf of Davao, 23
