A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING CKINOIUS 173 



The specimen from Kagoshima in the Stuttgart Museum recorded by Dr. 

 Clemens Hartlaub has 27 arms. He remarked that it is markedly larger than 

 specimens of multiradiata wliich he had examined (from the China Sea, Taiwan 

 [Formosa] and Amboina), and otherwise differs in many respects. Of the 9 IIBr 

 series present, 4 are 2 instead of the usual 4 (3 + 4). The outer syzygial pairs of the 

 4 (3 + 4) series are remarkably small in comparison with the two preceding segments. 

 The articulations of the division series are smooth, whereas in the Chinese speci- 

 mens of multiradiata they are as uneven as those of the brachials. The distal edges 

 of the brachials are not so strongly produced as usual, and are also less strongly 

 spinous than in specimens of rmdtiradiata. 



Localities. — Kagoshima Bay, Japan [P. H. Carpenter, 1888; Hartlaub, 1891]. 



Albatross station 4880; in the eastern channel of the Korean Straits, near the 

 Oki Islands; Oki Sliima bearing S. 79° W., 7.5 miles distant (lat. 34° 16' 00" N., 

 long. 130° 16' 00" E.); 108 meters; fine gray sand and broken shells; August 2, 1906 

 [A. H. Clark, 1907, 1912, 1918] (1, U.S.N.M., 22655). PI. 12, fig. 32. 



Remarks. — This species is only known from four specimens, all from south- 

 western Japan. Of these I have only seen one, Hartlaub has seen one, and Car- 

 penter has seen two.
