These specimens, in which R 15 and 22 mm., are not peculiar in any way, but agree well with the original material from the Panamic region. I fully agree with Fisher, in dissent from Ludwig, that the number of cribriform organs is a more important, and also a more available, generic character than the presence or absence of the segmental papillae. The bathymetrical range is considerably increased by the present record and the geographical range is extended to the south about 300 miles.
