PSYCHE. 



[June J893. 



short spinules. Body including legs velvety 

 black, but there is a pale yellow patch on 

 each side of each segment except the 2d, 

 4th and last; these patches are situated 

 near the anterior border of the segments and 

 are largest on 7th-ioth. The first body seg- 

 segment bears dorsally two white pointed 

 spines of moderate length; the other seg- 

 ments bear spines stellate at their summits, 



though the spine itself is continued beyond 

 the branching so as to look like an upright 

 ray, being but little larger than the divergent 

 spines; the thicker basal part of the spine 

 is again a little longer than the produced 

 terminal portion. Their disposition is 



shown in the following table, in which the 

 figures indicate the number of divergent 

 lateral radii : —
