have a transverse oval shape, and are separated by a group of five tubercles 

 arranged in two rows, while the supplementary corner piece has become as 

 large as the plate (Fig. 126). At the base of the arm the same arrangement 

 prevails; but the upper plate is proportionately smaller and less regular, while 

 the intermediate tubercles, from three to five in number, are conspicuous 

 (Fig. 125). Disk small, and strongly contracted in the iuterbrachial spaces. 

 It is covered by large radial shields which are much longer than wide and 

 microscopically tuberculous; length to breadth, 2.2 : 1. In the centre of the 

 disk is a five-sided space covered by closely soldered plates and tubercles, fri »m 

 which radiate five brachial and five iuterbrachial narrow spaces; the latter cov- 

 ered by plates, the former by plates bearing large tubercles. Lower inter- 

 brachial spaces covered by small, swollen, closely soldered plates. Two short, 

 stout, flattened arm-spines not more than half as long as a joint, and growing 

 wider at the end. At tip of arm there is but one spine. One round tentacle- 

 scale. Color in alcohol, above variegated with shades of yellowish brown and 

 with some of the tubercles white; below lighter with a broad longitudinal ami- 

 band of purplish.

This species, with the top of its arm covered by polished beads of various 

 colors, presents a curious aspect. It is readily distinguished from H. pustulata 

 by the persistence of the upper arm -plate; ami by having tubercles, instead of 

 of a smooth mosaic, on the upper side of the arm.
