“Name. Penn. acuta Myashima, Loc. Ena-line by Mera 2, 10 Aug. 1895, Coll. Prof. Ijima”.

Remarks Colony: two colonies.
“Ena-line” and “Mera 2” are fishermen’s expressions used to pinpoint fishing grounds (see Remarks for UMUTZ-Cnid-P-62 and UMUTZ-Cnid-P-64, respectively). Thomson & Rennet (1921) reported a specimen collected from the same locality in the same month, although the collecting date was the 8th. The present specimens had been stored in the same jar as UMUTZ-Cnid-P-43.
