everted and roughened; this soon changes to an eversion of the distal 
ends of the joints, which are finely spinous, and then to a strong over- 
lapping of the distal ends; the joints in the proximal third of the 
arm have the dorsal surface perfectly smooth; in the outer two-thirds 
the dorsal surface is thickly set with longitudinal lines of fine spines 
directed forward, giving the outer part of the arms a peculiar velvety 
appearance. ‘The costals, distichals, and first two brachials are in 
close apposition and sharply flattened laterally; the proximal third 
of the arm is remarkably deep and compressed, the outer two-thirds 
dorsally somewhat sharply rounded. 
The first pinnule is 8 mm. long with twenty joints, the first three 
not so long as broad, with the corners cut away, the following squar- 
ish, gradually becoming elongate, and distally about twice as long as 
broad; this pinnule is considerably longer and stouter than the fol- 
lowing, stout basally, tapering gradually to a slender and delicate 
tip; it 1s, on the outer side of the rays, sharply flattened exteriorly; 
the next three pinnules are 6 mm. long with fifteen joints, most of 
them squarish, the basal two or three rather shorter, the distal rather 
longer; the following pinnules are of the same length, but rather 
broader and more sharply carinate, distally becoming rather longer, 
but remaining comparatively stout; the distal pinnules are 9 mm. or 
10 mm. long, the first jot rounded-triangular, concave anteriorly, 
the second squarish, the remainder longer than broad, becoming about 
twice as long as broad distally. 
Color (in spirits).—Yellowish brown; the contaiming liquid is 
stained the same color.

* Sagami Bay.” 
One perfect specimen, agreeing with Carpenter’s description and 
figure, but possessing 33 arms. 
CHARITOMETRA LATA (A. H. Clark). 
Sagami Bay; off Misaki; July, 1902. (Owston collection, No. 
6969.) 
One specimen, larger than the type, but with the calyx and arm 
bases slightly less rugged, and yellow in color; probably not quite 
mature.
