The first brac-lnals are twice as broad as their outer length, wliich is about twice 

 the inner length. The distal border runs inward and downward from the outer angle 

 to the median line of the arm and then curves to run parallel to the proximal bor- 

 der to the inner edge. The second brachials are much larger than the first and are 

 irregularly quadrate. The first syzygial pair (brachials 3 + 4) is somewhat longer 

 interiorly than exteriorly and is nearly twice as broad as the median length. The 

 next four brachials are slightly wedge-shaped, about three times as broad as their 

 median length. The second syzygial pau- is oblong, half again as broad as long. 

 The following brachials arc obliquely wedge-shaped, about as long as broad, soon 

 becoming less obliquely wedge-shaped. Syzj'gies occur at brachials 3+4, 9 + 10, 

 14+15, and distally at intervals of three or four muscular articulations. 



P, is 8 mm. long with 31 to 33 segments, remaining about the same width for the 

 first sLx segments then tapering gradually, the distal portion being excessively slender 

 and hairlike. The first two segments are about as long as broad with their angles 

 only rounded. The third to the sixth or seventh segments are broader than long, 

 with their angles truncated. The following segments increase rather rapidly in length, 

 becoming about twice as long as broad on tlie thh'teenth and four or five times as 

 long as broad terminally. The sixth to ninth segments have a rounded notch in the 

 proximal border, the edges of this notch on either side being slightly swollen. 



Pj is about 11 mm. long with 20 segments. It is half again as broad basally as 

 Pi, and tapers gradually to a very delicate tip. It is thus nmch stouter than P,. 

 The first segment is broader than long, the second and third are about as long as 

 broad and those following increase in length becoming about three times as long as 

 broad on the tenth and somewhat longer distally. 



P3 and P4 resemble P2; P3 is of about the same length but very slightly more 

 slender distally. P^ is slightly sliorter and is still more slender distally. 



The color is white with a series of small but conspicuous brown spots along the 

 ventral surface of the arms, usuallj' at about every third pinnule.

Remarks [by A.M.C]. — Unfortunately, though Air. Clark left a description of 

 one of the Kei Islands specimens, he added no comments on the light thrown by 

 these on the interrelationship between T. tenelloides and tenuicirra. It seems to me
