is very long, perhaps longer than the longest eirri. and it is apparently not annnlated. There is a tuft 

 of hairs at the end and some sparse, short hairs along its length. 



Type, no. 32407 (hard part ) and no. 32408 (.soft part) U. S. National Museum, from Albatross station 

 3998, vicinity of Kauai Island, in 228 to 235 fathoms, on bottom of coarse. Inoken coral, sand, shells, and 

 rock; with Poecilasma helium, Alcpas percariyiata, and a few small odd valves of Verruca halothecn. 



Fragments of two or three individuals were taken, the largest and most perfect being drawn in 

 plate V, figures 1 and 2, in wliicli the following plates are preserved in place; Carina (c), carino-lateral 

 (CI.), terga (T), scuta (S); and in another individual the rostrum (R), rostro-lateral (Rl), and four plates 

 of the third whorl. Figures 3 (top view of carina) and 5 (anterior view of rostrum) represent detached 

 valves of another individual or indiviihials.

Balanus amphitrite Darwin.

Some small specimens taken from the bottom of a tug at Honolulu are similar externally to figure 2e 

 of plate v of Darwin's Monograph, except that the compartments diverge less above, the aperture being 

 somewhat smaller and hardly dentate. The basal length of the largest specimen is 15 mm. The terga 

 resemble figure 21c of the same plate. 



It is difficult to pronounce upon the subspecies or variety of B. amphitrite to which these specimens 

 are referable. They are proliably not full grown, and a much larger gathering would be essential for 

 a .satisfactory study of the Hawaiian race. 



Balanus sp. 



The tangles brought up numerous C'irfan's-likc spines encrusted with small barnacles 2 to 3 mm. in 

 diameter, at station 4062, northeast coast of Hawaii, 83 to 113 fathoms. They are too young to be identi- 

 fied with certaintv.
