Carpenter), syntype, Challenger station The genital pinniiles arise from about the ninth brachial on. They have about 20 segments and measure about 11 mm. The gonad is short and extends from the fourth to the seventh segments. The outer segments are about three times as long as broad. The disk and arm bases are rather closely plated. The syntype from station 164, pronounced the type locality by Mr. Clark, has the centrodorsal mm. wide and mm. high. There are XV cirrus sockets and the dorsal pole is also pitted and irregular; Carpenter gives the number of sockets as 20 to 30, but some of these are definitely obsolete. All the pinnules are broken. The speci- men is very similar in all respects to the one just described. Localities.—Challenger station 164; off Port Jackson, New South Wales (lat. 34°08' S., long. 152°00' E.); 1736 meters; temperature ° C; green mud; June 12, 1874 [P. H. Carpenter, 1882, 1887, 1888] (1, ). Typa locahty. Challenger station 169; northeast of New Zealand (lat. 37°34' S., long. 179°22' E.); 1279 meters; temperature ° C; blue mud; July 10, 1874 [P. H. Carpenter, 1882, 1887, 1888; A. H. Clark, 1913] (1, ). Remarks [by —As explained under the heading of P. japonicus, I do not think this Australasian form is conspecific ^dth the Japanese one, although there are many similarities.
