30 
slightly longer, the antepenultimate half again as long as broad, and the penultimate very 
slightly longer than broad. The cirri are very slender, of the same type as the slender form 
of cirri found in ptcrpzirea and pectinata. The second and third segments of the proximal pin- 
nules are very strongly carinate. 
Of the remaining specimens one has the arms 80 mm. long and the cirri V ; another 
has the arms 55 mm. long and the cirri \'II; a third has the arms 50 mm. long and the cirri 
IV; two others have the arms 40 mm. and 35 mm. long and the cirri \'; the remaining two 
are small. 
The cirri of these small examples are extremely delicate. 
The colour is yellow brown ; some of the specimens have a line of dull purple on 
either side of the median dorsal line, and one in addition has a spot of purple on each of the 
pinnule segments.
