A five-rayed species with long, gradually tapered, convex rays, covered with long, tapered, well spaced spines and with a multitude of remarkably large, unguiculate minor pedicellariae in large cir- cumspinal wreaths. The largest specimen (No. 1823) has the radii 20 mm. And 215 mm. ; ratio, i: 10. 75. Another from the same place has them ii mm. And 116 mm. ; ratio, 1 : 10. 50. A third specimen (No. 1431) is intermediate in size. The dorsal spines stand mostly in three pretty regular rows, one t...o a plate, but usually with an imperfect, more lateral row on each side proximally. They are elongated, up to 6 mm. , tapered, terete, obtuse or subacute, nearly smooth, not fluted, surrounded basally by very broad, loose wreaths of notably large, sharply unguiculate minor pedicellariae. The superomarginal spines are similar, rather longer, one to a plate, in a regular row, rather low down on the side. The inferomarginals are still larger, up to 8 mm. On the larger specimen, placed two to a plate, pretty near the adambulacrals.
