OPHIONEREIS SQUAMULOSA Koehler, new name. 

 Ophionereis squamata Kcehler (13), p. 560, pi. 21, figs. 4-6. 



Albatross station 2758. Dec. 16, 1887. Lat. 6° 59' 30" S.; long. 34° 4J' W.; 

 20 fathoms; brk. sh.; temp. 79° F. Two specimens. 



Diameter of the disk, 2.5 to 3 mm. 



I had an opportunity of noting these two specimens when describing the species 

 in the above-mentioned memoir, from an example which had been caught in the 

 West Indies by Messrs. Kiikenthal and Hartmeyer. 



After having described this Ophiuran in 1913, I noticed that the name OpJdo- 

 nereis sqiiamata had been appUed by Ljimgnian,in 1866, to the Op/iio/iems which had 

 been described in 1860 by L}Tnan under the name of 0. porrecta. Although the first 

 of these words has disappeared from science, owing to its having fallen into 

 synonymy, I propose, in order to avoid all chance of equivocation, to replace the 

 name of 0. squamata by that of 0. squamulosa.
