Remarks. Unfortunately both Zygometra elegans and Z. 
niicvodiscus vary very considerably in their arm structure, and 
examples of both may easily be found which possess more or less 
completely developed the arm structure of the other. For instance, 
the second specimen listed above has seven of the ten IIBr. series
