by them. A. SCOTT, 1905, p. 366, states that this species was found at a number of stations
in Ceylon; a total of ten females and four males is stated to have been caught. No figures are
given, so that I did not think it proper to inelude this form as a synonym. Tu. SCOTT, 1912 a,
p. 586, gives this species as coming from Gough Island, lat. 40° 20’ S., long. 9° 56’ \Y. Two
figures which are quite useless for certain identification are given, but no description. This
cannot possibly be included as a synonym.
Nothing definite can be said as to the relation of my species A. Mulleri, Ohlini and curta
to the female referred by G. S. BRADY to A. oculata.
Distribution: — Ceylon: Trincomalee (G. S. Brady, 1902a). Whether it also occurs
at St. Johns (Cruz Bay), Lesser Antilles, I cannot say; it seems rather probably, however, that
this identification of G. S. BraDY’s is due to a mistake.

about 2,2 : 1. Seen from the side (fig. 1) it is of about the same type as A. Grimaldi,
but, as is shown by the figures given above, it is somewhat higher relatively. The dorsal and
ventral margins are somewhat, though only rather slightly, more decidedly curved than in the
species mentioned above. Seen from below (fig. 2) it also has about the same type
as A. Grimaldi; it is only a little broader relatively. Seen from inside: Medial bristles:
On the rostrum there are rather numerous, stift’, moderately long bristles; of these the ones
that are situated nearest to the anterior margin of the shell are arranged in a rather dense and
distinct row running somewhat inside and about parallel to the margin of the shell; the others
are scattered. Most of these bristles are subequal, those situated along the anterior margin
of the shell are perhaps on the average rather shorter than the rest; among the latter, however,
a few more or less short bristles are interspersed, especially among those situated farthest in. On
the anterior wall of the incisur there are rather numerous scattered moderatelv long bristles,
most of them subequal. There is in addition in the incisur a very dense row of similar bristles,
running about parallel to and somewhat inside the ventral margin of the rostrum. Besides these
bristles there are in the incisur only a few moderately long scattered bristles. On the part just
beliind the incisur there are also rather numerous scattered bristles; most of these are of about
the same type and length as the long bristles on the rostrum, a number of those situated farthest
in are very short; on the anterior portion of this part there is often only a very small number
of bristles situated farthest in; these are all extremely short. Along the ventral margin of the
