 reservation, of course, that Duncan's description and figure, from 

 which alone the characters of his O. affinis may be appreciated, are 

 correct. 



AMPHIOPLUS RHADINOBRACHIUS H. L. Clark. 



Amjihtoplus rhadlnobrachius H. L. CLARK ('11), p. 167, fig. 74; ('15), p. 256. 



Locality. Albatross station 5113; China Sea, off southern Luzon; 

 Sombrero Island bearing S. 7 W., 1T.60 kilometers (9.5 miles) dis- 

 tant (lat. 13 51' 30" N., long. 120 50' 30" E.) ; 291 meters (159 

 rathoms) ; January 17, 1908; dk. gn. M. 



One specimen (Cat. No. 41193, U.S.N.M.). 



Notes. The diameter of the disk is 6 mm. ; the arms are excessively 

 long. 



The specimen agrees well with H. L. Clark's description, except for 

 a very slight difference in the form of the mouth shields, which are 

 rather more triangular than oval. 



The type series of specimens came from Suruga Gulf and Sagami 

 Bay, Japan, 516 to 920 meters (282 to 503 fathoms).
