i. Rodriguez. — One broken specimen. This species is best 

 described as resembling 6\ monacantha, but with P 2 longer and com- 

 posed of more numerous segments ; though slender distally, P 2 is not 

 flagellate. 



2. Tuticorin, Madras. — One large specimen. 



3. Tuticorin, Madras. — One beautiful specimen with thirty arms 

 no mm. long ; P 2 is rather longer than usual and has fifteen or six- 

 teen segments. 



4. Hulule, Male, Maldives. — One specimen with thirty arms about 

 85 mm. long; as is usual in the species of this genus which have 

 thirty arms all the IIIBr series are external; the cirri are XXIX, 

 22-23, 2 ° mm - I 011 ? ! P2 is J 4 mm - to I( 5 nim. long with from thirteen 

 to fifteen segments ; P 3 is small and weak like P 4 , and is not more than 

 half as long as P x ; this is very similar to the somewhat larger speci- 

 men recorded just above (2). 



5. Male, Maldives. — One specimen with twenty-five arms resem- 

 bling the preceding (3) but slightly larger; P 2 has from thirteen to 

 sixteen segments. 



6. Muhlos, Maldives. — One specimen with fourteen arms 65 mm. 

 long ; P 1 is long and very slender ; P 2 is enlarged and stiff, but dis- 

 tally flagellate, with fifteen segments ; P 3 and the following pinnules 

 are scarcely more than half as long as P 2 ; I > 1 is long and very slender ; 

 the cirri are smooth with from seventeen to nineteen segments, of 

 which the shorter distal are slightly carinate. 



7. Seychelles; 34 fathoms; " Sea Lark." — One small specimen.
