IBfj (iixillarics) are twice as broad as long and rhombic. The arms are about 5 mm. 

 long. The first brachials are twice as long exteriorly as interiorly, three times as 

 broad as the exterior length. The second brachials proximally rise into a sjTiarthrial 

 tubercle. Pi has 7 segments; Pj is shorter, with 5 segments; P3 is about as long as P2, 

 with 7 segments; P4 is sometimes absent. 



Gislen remarks that in his specimens from the Bonin Islands the cirrus segments 

 are a little shorter than in those from the Slboga collection; but cirri can be found with 

 the segments more elongated. 



None of his 7 specimens had a genital gland on Pj as did the type from Siboga 

 station 50. From other Siboga stations, however, the specimens had the first genital 

 gland on Pa as was the case with his. He suggests that, as this is evidently not due 

 to age, it may have varietal significance. 



Of the three Snellius specimens noted by the author in 1936, one has the cirri 

 5.5 mm. long, with 10 segments. The dorsal pole of the centrodorsal is papillose. 

 The elements of the division series and the first two brachials have their edges slightly 

 thickened, with occasional tubercles on the edges and on the dorsal surface, and with 

 a few long and widely separated spines on the edges. Pi is 3 mm. long, with 11 seg- 

 ments. In another specimen P, is 7 mm. long, with 10 or 11 segments. On a de- 

 tached arm about 30 mm. long, P^ is 5.7 mm. long, with 10 segments, and Pc is 4 mm. 

 longwith 9 segments and proportionally less stout. On another detached arm about 

 30 mm. long, P^ is 5.4 mm. long, with 10 segments and P„ is 3.8 mm. long, with 8 

 segments.
