Figure 15. — Florometra mariae (A. H. Clark), holotype: a, Lateral view of centrodorsal, division series fore- 

 shortened; b, perpendicular view of proximal part of postradial series; c, Pi; d. Pi; e, peripheral cirrus lacking 

 the tip; /, tip of another cirrus. 



The width of the arm at the first syzygy is 2.3 mm. and the length from the pro.ximal 

 edge of the IBri to the second syzygy is 14.5 mm. 



The third syzygy occurs 3 times between brachials 15 + 16, 3 times between brach- 

 ials 14+15, and once between brachials 16 + 17. The distal intersyzygial interval 

 is 3 muscular articulations. 



Pi is 22 mm. long, slender and flagellate, composed of 60 segments, most of which 

 are broader than long, the terminal 25 or 30 forming a rudimentary comb. Pj is 19 mm. 

 long with about 40 segments which are relatively longer than those of Pj. P3 is 16 mm. 

 long with 40 segments and, like Pj, with a rudimentary terminal comb. The followmg 

 pinnules are much shorter with fewer and longer segments and no terminal comb. The 

 pinnule on the twenty -sLxth brachial is 12 mm. long, slender, with 20 elongated segments. 

 The lower segments of the proximal pinnules have rather high narrow carinate proc- 

 esses with spinous crests. 



In the type of laodice the cirri are about XL, 40, 40 mm. long; the segments in 

 the pro.ximal half are longer than broad, those in the distal short and furnished with 

 small spines.
