Locality : Fanning Group. Tliere is less concavity in the posterior 

 border of the epistome in this specimen than is given in Dana's figure. 

 This authority lays particular stress upon this point, but I deem it of 

 minor importance. The specimen agrees in every other particular.

PINNIXIA TUMID A, Stimp. 

 Finnixia iumida, Stimpson, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1858, x, 108. 



Locality : Bellanas Bay, Lower California. Eemoved from the inte- 

 rior of the body of a holothurian. 



Although separated by the entire width of the Pacific Ocean, yet this 

 specimen agrees in every particular with the description given by 

 Stimpson of a species from the port of Hakodadi, on the island of Jesso. 

 P. tumida and P. faha, Dana, are the only species of this genus that are 

 characterized by the absence of ridges on the superior surface of the 

 carapace. There is nothing in Dana's description of his species, which 

 came from Puget Sound, which would militate against this being the 

 same ; but in the plate a figure of the hand is given, in which the fingers 

 are oblique, as in tumida, but there is no hiatus between them^ and the
