A smal! slender worm, measuring only 22 mm. in length, its greatest breadth (without 



bristles) in the anterior third of the body being only 5 mm. \ the number of its segments amounts 



2M. -The body has a greyish brown colour; the bristles are yellow. Each segment has in 



the middle of its dorsum a violet spot, shaped like an inverted T, the horizontal limb of which 



jtist corresponds to the posterior border of the segment. The main stem of the branchiae and 



the dorsal cirri are dark violet, and also a violet stripe runs over the middle of the caruncle. 



The caruncle reaches till upon the 4 th segment; the unpaired antenna extends beyond its posterior 



end, and the paired antennae too are rather long. The mouth seems to be limited posteriorly 



by the 2 d segment, that is strongly folded in the middle. The ventral cirrus of the second 



„ment is extraordinarily elongated, being about twice as long as that of the following segments 



PI. VI II, fig. 8). There are two long, tapering anal cirri. The first branchia occurs on the 



4 ,h segment. The ventral brisdes (PI. VIII, fig. 11) are slender, capillary, bifurcated; their 



• st limb measures about a fifth of the length of the long one. The dorsal bristles of the 



anterior segments are stouter, also bifurcated, but the short limb measures only a third of the 



long one (PI. VIII, tig. 10): in the c/ h segment and in the following ones these bristles have 



the long limb serrulated along its exterior border (PI. VI II, fig. 9). These specimens could not 



be identified with one of the described species of Chloeia.
