The specimen shows a very close resemblance to Åmphiura 
eugeniæ Ljungman. In view of the great variations shown by Koeh- 
ler^) to occur in this species, especially as regards the shape of 
the oral shields, I do not think the small differences from the typ-

ical form (from Kerguelen) to be observed in this specimen suf¬ 
ficient for maintaining it as a separate species. It seems to me 
preferable — until more and better material enables us to form a better 
judgment of the value of these differences — to designate it as a 
variety only of Amphiuræ eugeniæ', thus the undeniable close relation 
to the said species is emphasized.
