The l.rcacUli of tlie arms ni the first syzygy is 0.8 mm. and the length from the edge 

 of the centrodorsal to the second syzygy at 9 + 10 is 6.0 mm. 



P, is about 3.5 mm. long and has 8 or 9 segments. Ml of them appear to have 

 lost one, if not more, terminal segments. They are smooth and taper evenly from the 



base. 



Pj is mucii larger, about G.5 mm. long with 13 segments which are more elongated 

 than those of P, and have markedly spinous, flaring distal ends. 



Ps with about 10 segments 5 mm. in total length has even more conspicuously 

 flared distal ends to the segments and this is carried further in P4 which is shorter with 

 8 segments and 2. .5 mm. long. 



Pa is notably smaller tiian the other pro.ximal pinnules, only 2.0 mm. long, with the 

 8 fairly smooth segments tapering much more than those of P]. 



This is the specimen with the arms banded at the second syzygy (c in the descrip- 

 tion).

Geographical range.- — Southern Japan from the Goto Islands to Sagami Bay. 



Bathymetrical range. — From 55 to 274 meters. 



Thermal range. — One record, 11.61° C. 



History. — This species was originally described in January 1908, from a specimen 

 from Sagami or Tokj'o Bay collected by Mr. Alan Owston in the collection of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



In 1907 Mr. Frank Springer purchased and presented to the U.S. National Museum 

 all the crinoids at that time remaining in the possession of Mr. Owston, and among 

 them was a second specimen of this species with definite data and bearing the original 

 number 7215 which I recorded in July 1908. I suspect that these two were captured 

 at the same time, though there is no evidence to prove it. 



In his investigations in Sagami Bay in 1914 Dr. Sixten Bock dredged two crinoids 

 which were described and figured by Dr. T. Gislen in 1922 under the name of Toxometra 

 aequipinna. They appear, however, undoubtedly to represent this species, for I 

 cannot see that they differ from the three previously known in any significant way.
