Calcareous deposits resembling those of B. nutans but usually having the spires supplied with six or more columns instead of the four usual in the genus. Type specimen: The large specimen from "Ingolf" St. 73, in the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen. Description: The type specimen measures 10cm in length, 3 cm in width and 2 cm in height. The mouth is ventral and the anus is dorsal. It is pale greyish yellow, and has dorsally, besides two rows of large ambulacral papillae, some few smaller papillae irregularly scattered. Along the sides there are two rows of lateral. Textfig. 12. Socalled "large tables" from the posterior end of the dorsal side.

As stated above the examination of these specimens has thrown light on the variation of the shape of the calcareous de- posits. It is true that the shape of the deposits is fairly constant from one specimen to another, but within the individual it varies quite perplexingly corresponding to the different parts of the body surface.
