Some numerical detaQs of three of the specimens of austini are included in table 4, 



on p. 159. 



The geographical limits of this subspecies cannot be determined \vithout an ex- 

 amination of material from the west coast of Australia. Possibly all the specimens 

 recorded as incommoda by Dr. H. L. Clark from Western Australia are referable to 

 austini, the Great Austrahan Bight formmg the dividing hne between the subspecies. 



Locality.— Lesvis Island, Dampier iVi-chipelago, northwest Australia [A. H. Clark, 

 1911, 1913] (11, B.M.).

Diagnostic features. — The arms are up to 70 mm. long; in the largest specimens 

 the cirri are about one-eighth as long as the arras but in the smaller ones may be up to 

 a quarter as long; the cirri arc XX-LVwhen the arms e.TCced 20 mm., with up to 16, 

 usually 13 or 14 segments, of which the longest are about twice as long as their median 

 widths and the antepenultimate is about half again as long as wide; Pi has 12 to 28 

 segments; P2 is about half as long as P, or even shorter; P3 is slightly larger than P2 

 and bears a gonad; the brachials may be prominently spinous as well as the pinnule 

 segments; the centrodorsal is flattened hemispherical. 



Description. — The centrodorsal is low-hemispherical. 



The cirri are about XXX, 11-14, from 7 to 8 mm. long. The longest segments 

 are about twice as long as theu- median widths. Those in the proximal half of the 

 cirri are more or less constricted centrallj'. The opposing spine is minute.
