edges. The dorsal branch, is very small, and the bristles are short, 

 straight, and simple, not toothed or serrate on the edges. The 

 dorsal cirri are stout and club-shaped at the extremity, to which 

 is appended a small flagellam, or narrow, loosely floating process. 

 They appear to become nearly obsolete on the feet of the lower 

 portion of the body. The ventral cirri are so exceedingly small 

 as to be scarcely perceptible. The length of the species, judging 

 from the fragments, might be about 2| inches, and the breadth 

 about 4 lines.

 JBrit.). 



This species was found by Mr. Lord adhering to a large species 

 of Starfish ; but he says in his notes, " It is next to impossible to 

 obtain one perfect, as they break themselves to pieces on the 

 slightest touch, or however carefully killed."
