This species has not been obtained by the Ingolf-Expedition, and I have only before me a small fragment of the type specimen; therefore I only mention the spicules more particularly, a. Mega- sclera. 1. The skeletal spicules are acanthostyli; they are slightly curved, either evenly through their whole length, or with the curve nearer to the upper end. The point is rather short, at most middle long. The spinulation is rather scattered, but in this feature some variation may be found; the spines continue out on the very point; at the head-end they are generally more closely gathered. The length of the acanthostyli is 0-42—o-55mm, and the thickness o-on—o-oi4ram. 2. The dermal spicules are slender, straight tylota with slightly swollen ends; their length is 0-40—o-447mm, the thickness is ca. o-oo7ram. b. Microsclera ; these are of three forms, isochelse arcuatse, forcipes, and sig- mata. 1. Chelse arcuatse are of a sim
