compared with the arms are much shorter and always have 10—11 

 segments (with very long 3'' and 4"' segments) instead of 12 — 13, 2) 

 never III Br:s, 3) syzygies between Br 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, only ex- 

 ceptionally between 2 and 3, 4) Pj is much shorter and with fewer 

 segments in C. hrachycirra than in G. decora. Teeth 6 — 9 instead of 

 12. 5) Pj — P.s with a comb (C. dpcora has teeth on Pj — P,/).

From St. 53 |1 sp.) 59 (2 sp.) = 3 specimens. 



Sp. 1 (St. 59) Cd 3,5 mm., free dorsal pole 2,5 mm. Cirri XXI, 

 19; 10 — 12 mm. in a single or double whorl. First and 2*^ segments 

 short, 3'' cubical, somewhat hour-glass-shaped, 4"' a little longer, 5—7"' 

 segments L = 1 '/2 br. Then shoi ter segments again with dorsal spines. 

 Penultimate segment L = br. Terminal claw coarse L = 1^2 X the 

 foregoing segment. A young cirrus has the 4 — 7"' segments some- 

 what longer, L = 2 X br. 



B-s and R-s as in the preceding species. I Br 1 h = '/•' br. 

 laterally free. I Brax h = '/s br, the border against II Br 1 a little 

 bent outwards. I Br 2 forms with I Br 1 a small synarthrial tubercle. 

 II Br:s are 2. 



The aims are XV (or perhaps XVI), partly broken, (35 mm. 

 Primipostaxillai-ies inside for the most part united. Syzygies 1 — 2, 3 + 4, 

 14+15, 23 + 24 or 13 + 14, 18 + 19, then with an interval of 5 to 6 

 oblique articulations. The proximal part of the arm not quite smooth. 

 Br:s 1 — 8 discoidal, then oblique joints. Distal segments tolerably short, 

 the margins a little spiny and somewhat bent luitward like a collar. 

 It) — 17 segments pro cm (If syzygial pairs are counted as units there 

 are 14) Breadth of arms 1,2 mm. 



Pi — Pg with combs. Pj 36—38 (18 T) 9 mm. Teeth rather nar- 

 row, V2 — V^ of the segment's breadth. Pg + 30 (15 — 17 T) (1,5 mm., 

 P3— P5 with decreasing length. P^ 22 (12 T) 4,r. mm. Distal p. 17—18: 

 5 — () mm.
