238 BULLETIN 8 2, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Notes. — The specimens from Monado Bay, Celebes, and those from the Danish 

 Expedition to the Kei Islands stations 3, 8, 12, 58, and 59, were regarded as representing 

 a new species which was called annae. Although this name was never published the 

 specimens in the Copenhagen Museum, some of which may have been distributed to 

 other museums, all bear it so that it is well to mention it in order that their true identity 

 may be known. 



All four of the specimens from Menado Bay have 10 arms. In one the dorsal 

 pole of the ccntrodorsal is thickly and conspicuously vermiculated with short meander- 

 ing rounded ridges of various lengths but of uniform height. The ends of the basal 

 rays are strongly and irregularly tubercular. The IBri are very short, with the entire 

 surface irregularly tubercular. The IBr 2 (axillaries) have a high rounded median keel, 

 the dorsal surface in the distal half is strongly and coarsely tubercular, and the proximal 

 border is finely and irregularly dentate. The first brachials have the surface coarsely 

 tubercular, the lateral edges rather broadly and strongly everted, and the proximal 

 border narrowly everted. The surface of the second brachials is much less irregular. 

 One of the other three is similar to this, but the other two have less strongly developed 

 ornamentation. 



The seven specimens from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 3 all 

 have 10 arms which in one reach a length of 105 mm. 



The three specimens from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 8 all 

 have 10 arms which are 115, 75, and about 30 mm. long. 



The type specimen of annae from the Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands station 

 12 in the Zoological Museum at Copenhagen may be thus described. 



The centrodorsal is discoidal, rather thick, with moderately converging sides and 

 a broad flat obscurely papillose dorsal pole 2 mm. in diameter. The cirrus sockets are 

 arranged in 10 columns of 2, or more rarely 3, each. 



The cirri are XX, 15-17 (usually 16), 20 mm. long. The first segment is very short, 

 the second is about four times as broad as long, the fourth is about as long as broad, 

 and those following are in the longest cirri slightly longer than broad and in the short 

 cirri about as long as broad. The three or four segments preceding the penultimate 

 have tlic distal border dorsally slightly swollen. 



The ends of the basal rays are visible as rather prominent tubercules in the inter- 

 radial angles of the calyx. 



The radials arc entirely concealed. The IBr, are partially concealed, appearing 

 as a more or less narrow strip beyond the rim of the centrodorsal; their distal border is 

 thickened and everted, and scalloped or coarsely and prominently tubercular. The 

 IBr s (axillaries) are regularly rhombic, from two and one-half to three times as broad 

 as long, with a high and conspicuous well-rounded ridge occupying the entire median 

 line and the edges irregularly thickened or with occasional irregularly placed tubercles. 

 The IBr series are broad, only slightly convex dorsally, in close lateral apposition, and, 

 in common \\itli the first two brachials, sharply flattened laterally. 



The 10 arms are 100 mm. long. The first brachials are very short, roughly half 

 again as long exteriorly as interiorly, with the central portion more or less abruptly 

 swollen and the lateral edges more or less extensively thickened. The interior borders 

 of adjacent first brachials arc in close apposition. The second brachials are more than 

 twice as large as the first. From the outer side the proximal and distal borders run
