Notes. The specimens agree very well with the type which? I 

 described from specimens collected by the Investigator on the Gan- 

 jam coast of India and among the Andaman Islands between 7 and 

 25 fathoms. The Siboga rediscovered this species in different locali- 

 ties in the Sunda archipelago at depths between and 112 meters 

 (0 to 62 fathoms). 6 



In the majority of the Albatross specimens I have found the elon- 

 gated form of the mouth shields, but I notice some variation. Thus 

 the shields are sometimes very narrow (station 5207, pi. 71, fig. 5), 

 sometimes somewhat broadened, as in different specimens from Kago- 

 shima (fig. 7) ; they may even broaden still more, and in the speci- 

 men from Manila Harbor they are broader than long (fig. 6) ; in this 

 case they are composed of a triangular main portion which is almost 

 as long as broad with the angles rounded, and a small narrow and 

 also rounded distal lobe. In all other characters this specimen 

 agrees absolutely with A. relictus, though in the absence of inter- 

 mediates, one might be tempted to consider it a different species. 



6 I notice a typographical error in my memoir of 1905 ; on page 41, first line, after the 

 list of localities, there is written : " les boucliers radiaux sont toujours tres allonges et 

 etroits. . . " It should be " boucliers buccaux."
