Description of an Individual (Station 29). Diameter of disk 4 mm. Length 
of arm 17 mm. Width of arm close to disk .7 mm. One (sometimes two) 
small, rounded, scale-like mouth-papille on either side, near juncture of first 
under arm-plate and side mouth-shields, with two a little larger at the apex of 
jaw. Above may be seen the long scale of the first mouth-tentacle. Mouth- 
shields small, broader than long, with sharp angles at the lateral corners, outer 
‘edge rounded, and an angle within. Side mouth-shields longer than broad, 
wider without than within, where they just meet. Under arm-plates longer 
than wide, pentagonal, with a well-marked angle inward ; midway out on the 
arm the plates become long, triangular, with an angle inward. Side arm- 
plates large and flaring, barely meeting below and above near base of arm. 
Upper arm-plates swollen, of a transverse oval shape, Disk round and flat, 
covered with small, swollen, overlapping scales ; those in the centre being a 
little the largest. Radial shields flat pear-seed shape, with the peak inward, 
just touching without, separated within by a wedge of two or three minute 
scales, On the under surface the interbrachial space is covered with much 
finer scaling than that above. Genital slits long, extending from the outer 
corner of the mouth-shield to margin. Three short, stout, tapering, pointed 
arm-spines, the upper and under being often a little shorter than the middle 
one. One minute flat tentacle-scale on the inner side of the pore. Color in 
alcohol, white.
