These specimens are all fully mature and measure 110-145 mm. 

 in length. They agree in every respect with the original specimens, 

 and there is no need to add further details to v\'hat has been said 

 about the species.

These tvv'o specimens measure 6 mm. and 4.5 mm. in mantle-length 

 respectively. For such young, they show already the characteristic 

 ©cellar patch in front and below each eye and the elongated patch 

 above the head between the ej^es. The five circumorbital cirri are 

 also well discernible.

 Goodrich, Calcutta Museum Collection Report, 1896, p. 19.

 Xo. 332975, U.S.X.M. 



Station 4973 (off Kii Province). One young female. Cat. Xo. 

 332973, U.S.X.M. 



The specimens alluded to seem to me properh' referable to the 

 present species. But their heads are by no means as small as stated 

 by Hoyle (1SS6), being as broad, or even broader, than the body. 

 In other respects they differ from his i.llustration (1904); as for 

 instance, the inner lateral teeth of the radula have a broad base and 

 a faint blunt cusp on the inner side in addition to the sharp ordinary 

 cusp on the outer.
