The locality whence the specimen described by Milne-Edwards 

 and Lucas was obtained is not stated ; and there is nothing in 

 their description to distinguish it from either of the foregoing 

 species. The hands are represented in the figure as devoid of 

 spines, but are described as spinose. Dana gives no particulars 

 which, would serve to characterize the specimens collected by the 

 U.S. Exploring Expedition.
