See for the rest the description of the young forms from Benin 

 Island (p. 58), some of which certainly belong to this species. 



As in the preceding species, the. young forms of this one seem 

 lo lack cwnbs on distal pinnules. The finest example of this is Sp. S of 

 Gomaster serrata. The specimen in question is a connecting link bet- 

 ween the X-armed young forms (it has like these only a couple of 

 proximal pinnules provided with combs) and the full-grown specimens
