undivided arms of the adult. The longer proximal cirrus segments are half again as long as 
broad, and are constricted centrally, so that the cirri, which are rather slender, have very much 
the appearance of the cirri of Stephanometra i?ionacant/ia or of Dicliromctra protcctns. The 
dorsal pole of the centrodorsal is slightly convex.

This specimen has 61 arms 120 mm. long; four of the rays bear 12 arms each, the 
fifth 13; each IIBr series bears externally a IIIBr 4 (3 + 4) series, internally a IlIBr 2 series 
which bears two IV^Br 4 (3 + 4) series. 
The cirri are rather stout, 30 mm. long with 37 — 38 segments; the longest proximal 
segments are from half again to twice as broad as long; there is very little difference between 
the proximal and distal segments; from the nineteenth or twentieth segment onward prominent 
dorsal tubercles or short blunt dorsal spines are developed. 
Pd is 23 mm. long with 37 segments, very stout basally but tapering evenly to a slender 
and flagellate tip, the basal segments are twice as broad as long, the following gradually 
increasing in length and becoming about as long as broad on the twelfth, and half again as 
long as broad in the delicate terminal portion ; the pinnule is perfectly smooth, with no trace 
of eversion of the distal edges of the segments. Pp is 22 mm. long with 36 segments, only 
very slightly smaller than Pd. Pi is similar to the two preceding but somewhat smaller, 17 mm. 
long. Pj is weak and slender, 8.5 mm. long with 23 segments of which the second-fifth have 
a prominent narrow carination the distal border of which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of 
the segments. Pg is 6.5 mm. in length, resembling P., but very slightly smaller. P, is 5.5 mm. 
long, resembling P., but very slightly smaller; the second-fourth segments are carinate. From 
this point the amount of carination of the earlier segments of the pinnules decreases, though 
it is traceable to the end of the proximal fourth of the arm. 
This specimen differs from the type specimen only in the slightly smaller size and in the 
slightly shorter proximal cirrus segments.
