Calkins, in the reference cited above, identifies a small specimen 

 otherwise identical with S. polyzonias, as the species S. conica All- 

 man, and says : "The only character, and that a small one, by which 

 to distinguish it from the very wide-spread S. polyzonias is the well- 

 marked wrinkling on the adcauline side of the hydrotheca." Speci- 

 mens from Alaska in the Harriman Collection, agreeing with Calkins's 

 description and figures, have the characteristic gonosome of S. poly- 

 zonias, and I therefore consider that I am justified in regarding his 

 specimen as belonging to that species.
