1. Hong Kong. — One fine large specimen of the slender armed 

 type ; this individual was well described by Carpenter. 



2. Australia. — One dry specimen. 



3. Singapore.— One specimen similar to the one from Hong Kong 

 but slightly more slender ; there are 21 cirrus segments. This and the 

 individual from Hong Kong resemble the slender form of pectinata 

 except for the much greater size and number of cirrus segments ; they 

 have not the broadly expanded arms and stout cirri of the Australian 

 " robusta " type, nor are the arms so flat dorsally. Both are in color 

 light brown with a fine median dorsal line and borders to the arms 

 of white. The Hong Kong specimen has three cirri and the one from 

 Singapore two, and two stumps. In both the centrodorsal is under- 

 going reduction.
