The details of the specimens are as follows : 
Stat. 49''; twenty-seven of these are fully grown, with the arms up to about 130 mm. 
in length, while thirty-one represent various immature stages. All are, more or less pronoun- 
cedly, of the broad armed type. One of the fully grown is purple, the others being yellow 
brown ; one of the youngf is orange, the others \ellow or \ellow brown. This series closely 
resembles that from Stat. 162. 
Stat. 50 ; two of the specimens have the anterior arms about 110 mm. long: another 
has the anterior arms 90 mm. long and the posterior 60. mm. long, with four ungrooved ; the 
last is small. The arms are rather slender, with only a suggestion of an approach to the stout type. 
Stat. "9; the arms are about 90 mm. long, of the slender type; the cirri are XII, 13 — 14. 
Stat. 79'' ; a small individual, the arms being only 27 mm. long. 
Stat. 96; another small specimen, with arnis 25 mm. long. 
Stat. 99; the largest has arms 75 mm. long and XIII cirri: another has arms 70 mm. 
long, the posterior arms 55 mm. long, and XI cirri: this example has eleven arms ; there are 
four others similar to the preceding, and si.\ more medium and small, all of the slender armed type. 
.Stat. 162; the largest has the anterior arms 135 mm. and the posterior 85 mm. in 
length, all very broad and stout; five of the arms are ungrooved ; another large specimen 
has the anterior arms 120 mm. and the posterior 60 mm. long; five of the arms are un- 
grooved : a third has the anterior arms about 100 mm. and the posterior 60 mm. long, all 
stout and broad; live of the arms are ungrooved, and on the others only the distal pinnules 
are grooved; a fourth, also of the broad armed type, has the posterior arms 60 mm. long, 
very stout, stouter than the anterior arms ; five of the arms are ungrooved ; the cirri are X. 
10 — Ti, 8 mm. to 9 mm. long: a fifth re.sembles the preceding; the eight medium sized 
specimens all have broad and stout arms, this character being especially marked in the pos- 
terior; usually five of the arms are ungrooved; the seven small specimens are similar; the 
broadening of the arms is marked in individuals w-ith an arm length of only 35 mm. or 40 mm. 
Stat. 164; the anterior arms are 120 mm., the posterior 70 mm. in length: si.x of the 
arms are grooved and four ungrooved; on the former only the distal pinnules are grooved; 
all the arms are rather stout, but not excessively so; the centrodorsal is greatly reduced, and 
bears only two cirri, one 7 mm. long with 1 2 segments, the other 6.5 mm. long with i 1 ; 
there are also two rudimentary cirri ; the colour is yellow brown, each articulation with two 
dark spots one on either side of the median line: the articulations in the basal portion of 
the pinnules bear single dark spots. 
Stat. 273; the larger specimen has the anterior arms 120 mm. and the posterior 45
