of the disk recalls that which I have described in the two first species, 

 but the characters of the ventral surface, the upper and under arm 

 plates, and the number of the spines are entirely different. The differ- 

 ences which separate this species from O. undata are very much more 

 marked; in this species the radial shields are not larger than the 

 plates of the primary rosette, the upper ami plates and the mouth 

 shields have a different shape, the arm spines are four in number, etc.
