They crowd the basal part of the parapodia as well as the ccelom. 

 The character of the mature eggs is shown in figure 19, PI. XV.

 pp 246-249, PI. VII, figs. 5-7. 



A much broken and macerated female specimen containing a few eggs 

 in the posterior region. The sexual region begins at about segment 

 CLXXXV. The tentacles and branchiae are somewhat shorter than 

 those of the type, but this probably results from the macerated con- 

 dition of the specimen. In all other features studied it agrees with the 

 type. 



Station 4,420, off San Nicolas Island, 32-33 fathoms, fine gray sand. 

 Eunice multipeotinata sp. nov. PI. XV, figs. 20-23. 



A fine, robust species which reaches a considerable size. The type 

 is 205 mm. long with a maximum width of body of 7.5 mm. and be- 

 tween the seta? tips of 13 mm. Number of segments 181. Other 

 complete specimens vary from 47 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, with 87 

 segments to 203 mm. long and 9 mm. wide. One 195 mm. long and 

 7 mm. wide has 177 segments. Incomplete specimens range all the 

 way from 1 mm. to 11 mm. in width. 



Prostomium in all except the smallest specimens retracted and 

 deeply sunken into the peristomial collar to the tentacles; deeply 

 incised and bilobed anteriorly to form the somewhat divergent, short, 

 thick, bluntly rounded palps, slightly divided by a shallow transverse 

 groove into a larger ventral and a smaller dorsal segment. Tentacles 

 in a crowded transverse row, each with a small indistinct ceratophore; 

 the styles more or less strongly and irregularly annulated or distinctly 

 articulated; on the smaller specimens the median has about seven 

 articulations and reaches to VII, the inner paired have but five articu- 

 lations and reach to IV or V and the outer paired four articulations 

 and reach III. Large specimens have shorter tentacles which have 

 evidently worn away at the tips. Eyes always large and conspicuous, 

 situated immediately behind the outer paired tentacles.
