The specimen from Stat. 89 is small, with 30 arms. 
Of the examples from Stat. 96 the largest has 43 arms 100 mm. long, and the cirri 
22 mm. to 26 mm. long with 23 — 25 segments; the dorsal pole of the centrodorsal is very 
slightly concave, 3.5 mm. in diameter; another has 43 arms about 85 mm. long, and cirri 
20 mm. to 22 mm. long with 24 — 26 segments of which the eleventh, twelfth or thirteenth 
is a transition segment; a third is similar to the preceding with 35 arms 95 mm. long and 
cirri 20 mm. to 23 mm. long; a fourth has 33 arms 95 mm. long and cirri XX, 22 — 24, 
28 mm. to 29 mm. long; the ninth or tenth is a transition segment; a fifth has 29 arms 
80 mm long, being on the individual rays 8 (4+4), 4 (i + 3), 7 (4+ 3), 8 (3 + 5), and 2; 
the anal area of the disk is .'Studded with scattered large rounded-conical concretions ; the 
remaining specimen is young, with 1 2 arms 40 mm. long. 
These examples belong to a variety of the species which possesses more than the 
typical number of arms, and shows great irregularity in the arm division. It was upon a spe- 
cimen of this variety that C.\rpenter based his name notata, though he failed to recognize 
the true affinities of his supposed new species and described it as closely related to Comatula 
( Validia) rotalai-ia. 
The larger specimen from Stat. 99 also belongs to the notata type; it has 37 arms 
(on the five rays 6, 6, 9, 7, 9), 95 mm. long; the cirri are XXV, 25 — 26 (usually 25), 20 
mm. to 23 mm. long, moderately slender; the twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth is a transition 
segment ; the smaller specimen has 3 1 arms.
