il I tal end of tliis groove the ventral cirrus is situated upon a short 



.'. joint. ntral fascicle, much stronger than the dorsal one, consists mainly of bifurcated 



bristli have their distal end tinged with yellow, as rightly stated by M< Intosh ; 



in its anterior row a number of stout plain brisdes are visible, measuring hardly a 



ngth of the longer ones ofthis fascicle. The notopodium has a conical posterior li]>, 



which the dorsal cirrus arises; its anterior lij» is plain, somewhat concave. The dorsal fascicle 



of the anterior to segments contains smooth bifurcated bristles, likt- as the ventral one, ho\t 



and their shortest limb measures about a fourth of the length of the 



me. In their distal end they show very conspicuous grains and some of them are tii 



with yellow. Moreover in this species the dorsal fascicle contains some characteristic long slender 



brisdes, in which the difference of length between the two limbs is much greater than in the 



Challenger-report, PI. IA. fig. 14). In the segments behind the io th one tin- dorsal 



shows a third kind of the bristles, with the long limb serrated along its outer edge, as 



i-- also recognized by Mc Intosh. In the posterior body-segments of Chl. fusca the dorsal fascicle 



consists of only the two last-named kinds of bristles and wants entirely the usual bifurcated 



It is proved hereby, that von Marenzeller's supposition, that the anterior four segments 



should differ from the following ones by the presence of only smooth bristles'). does not hold 



lor all the species of Ckloeia. 



Amoiv' the worms catched with the tow-net near the I'aternosti r-islands there is a «ï</antic 

 specimen, measuring 37 mm. in length; its eyes are extraordinarily developed and coalesced, 

 whereas in the dorsal fascicles the long and slender bristles are prevailing. 



8. Chloeia sp'. PI. VII, fig. 9, 



Stat. 303. Haingsisi, Samau-island. Depth 36 M. 1 specimen. 



A very young specimen, not longer than 3 mm., consisting of only 12 segments; it is 

 distinguished not only by its conspicuous marking, but also by the length of its bristles and 

 of its dorsal cirri, that are longer than half the body length. There is a row of small black 

 spots on both sides of the median dorsal line, each spot being situated just upon the base of 

 a branchia; moreover a similar smaller spot lies in front of the neurópodium. All the bristles are 

 yellow and bifurcated, somewhat resembling those of Bathychloeia (see afterwards) ; the ventral 

 are smooth, their short limb measuring about a third of the longer one, those of the 

 dorsal fascicles whether smooth or serrated along the outer border. The caruncle extends till 

 upon the fourth segment, that bears the first branchia.

The longest specimen measures only 10 mm., and consists of about 20 segments. Their 



irly colourless, pale yellow-red; the dorsal cirri and the main stem of the branchiae 



are pale violet. The bristles are vitreous, those of the dorsal fascicle somewhat resembling those
