to half its length down the stem ; there are from six to eight rows 
of very minute suckers, subequal, and with smooth horny rings. 
The Surface is smooth, except that on one side of the ventral sur- 
face are three slightly raised linear ridges, apparently due to con- 
traction, and a few minute papillae on the dorsal surface posteriorly. 
The Colour is, on the whole, pale yellowish below, purplish above. 
The Shell is hemielliptical in outline anteriorly, tapering to a point 
behind. The chitinous margin is rather broad, widest about two- 
thirds back ; it covers all except the median third of the dorsal 
surface , which is finely rugose where free, and has a slightly elevated 
median portion and a faint linear ridge in the middle line posteriorly, 
about 3 millim. long, and terminating 2 millim. from the base of the 
spine. The ventral surface is but little elevated ; the last loculus 
occupies more than one-third of it, and its posterior boundary is 
almost semicircular, inflected in the centre. The inner cone is evan- 
escent ; its limbs are chitinous and form a ventral margin to the 
terminal cone. A spine is present, but, as it had been broken off, 
its length and form cannot be determined.

The Body is very long, broadest one-third of the way back, pointed 
and acuminate behind. The fins are narrow, commence 3 millim. 
behind the anterior margin, and terminate 5 millim. from the 
posterior end of the body, and, each approaching within 3 millim. 
of its fellow, end slightly on the dorsal aspect of the body. The 
mantle-margin extends well over the head dorsally, and is very 
slightly emarginate ventrally. The siphon extends rather further 
forward than the middle of the eyes, but not up to the space be- 
tween the ventral arms. 
The Head is decidedly narrower than the body and somewhat 
elongated ; the eyes being distended and laterally prominent. 
The Arms are subequal, the order of length being 1, 2, 3, 4, or 
1, 4, 3, 2 ; they are two-fifths the length of the body, elongated, 
conical (except the fourth pair, which are flattened), and taper to
