Maicriui. Remarks: — The re-description of this species given above is based on a single specimen 



wliich was kindly placed at my disposal for re-examination by the Copenhagen Zoolo- 

 gical M u s e u m. The specimen in (question had been denoted as the type specimen by Pro- 

 fessor G. S. Bp>ady, the describer of this species. This statement must, however, be considered 

 incorrect, as the specimen was not dissected, and the original description was made from a 

 dissected specimen. On the other hand there seems to be no doubt that the specimen really 

 belongs to the species to which it has been ascribed.

 dissected. Because of this the description given above had to be left incomplete in several points. 

 In spite of this I hope it is complete enough' to permit of certainty in identifying the species. 



Dijierenceg from the Some divergencies from G. S. Brady's original description may be noted, but for these it 



" is only necessary to compare the two descriptions. These differences are probably to be explained 



as due entirely to the superficial method of investigation used in the original description. 

 Habnai. Q g_ Brady states that this species was caught at two localities in Java ,,Sourabaya, 



several specimens, o' ?; Cheribon, 4^ fathoms, one specimen, ^j". In addition one specimen, 

 a male, is said to have been caught at Madeira. This last statement as to locality is certainly 

 a mistake. It undoubtedly refers to the specimen described by me above. On the original 

 label attached to this we read: ,,Madoura, oens ostende, Andrea, 1870". In other words the 

 specimen comes from the east end of the island of Madoera (Madura) on the north side of Java, 

 near Sourabaya, i. e. from a locality in the neighbourhood of the two other localities.
