80 BULLETIN OF THE 
Description of an Individual (Royal Sound). — Diameter of disk 13.5 mm. 
Width of the arm close to disk 2.5 mm. Mouth-papille short, blunt, tooth- 
like, and close-set, five on each side, similar to and continuous with the ten- 
tacle-scales of the mouth-tentacles, with a larger, longer, and pointed one at 
angle of jaw. Mouth-shield pentagonal, with outer edge rounded, lateral sides 
notched, and à blunt angle inward ; length to breadth 3:2. Side mouth- 
shields short, just meeting within and slightly wider at their outer end. 
First under arm-plate large, rudely diamond-shaped, with outer and inner 
angles rounded ; the next two or three plates four-sided, wider without than 
within, with outer side curved and re-entering curves on lateral sides ; further 
out they become pentagonal, much broader than long, with an angle inward. 
Side arm-plates short and thick, not meeting below till some distance from the 
disk ; widely separated above by upper arm-plates, much broader than long, 
arched, wider without than within, outer edge curved, inner edge re-enteringly 
curved. Disk thick and angular, covered with thick, closely soldered, irregu- 
larly shaped plates, among which the primaries may be distinguished, but not 
very clearly. Radial shields small, irregularly triangular, with angles rounded, 
widely separated by one large and two or three small scales ; length to breadth 
2:1.5. Genital plates short, beginning opposite fourth under arm-plate and 
widening rapidly outward ; along the free edge is a row of fine, short, square, 
close-set papille, extending as an unbroken line upward to form the arm-comb. 
Four short, blunt, and tooth-like arm-spines, three in a cluster, close to edge of 
tentacle-pores, and. one a little separated above ; farther out the four make a 
continuous group. Tentacle-pores large; those of the mouth-tentacles have 
five short, rounded scales on the interbrachial side and four on the other ; the 
next pair, six on one side and five on the other ; thence they diminish till some 
distance beyond the disk, where there is but one tentacle-scale, similar to and 
continuous with the arm-spines. Color in alcohol, light gray.

Plate IV. Figs. 109-111. 
Special Marks. — Three to five short, sharp arm-spines, about half as long as 
a joint. Disk smooth and flat, with scales, radial shields, and mouth-shields 
all small. 
Description of an Individual (Station 157). — Diameter of disk 21 mm, 
Width of arm close to disk 3.7 mm. Six or seven small rounded mouth- 
papillae on each side, the outer three being closely soldered together ; at apex 
of jaw a clump of three larger papilla. Mouth-shields triangular, with an 
obtuse angle within, and the outer edge much rounded ; length to breadth 
3.5:4. Side mouth-shields following inner angle of the mouth-shield, rather 
narrow without, where the mouth-tentacle pores encroach, wider within, where
