est specimen luis a length of 70 mm., whereas the number of its segments 

 amoi 37; the smallest specimen measures only :: mm. The body, tapèring in breadth 



riorly, has a pale wine-red colour. Each segment bears on the middle of the dorsum a 

 \ shaped spot, the limbs of which are extending at the right and the left over the preceding 



lent in front of the gills and the parapodium (PI. VII, fig. ; 1. üsually the spot does not 

 the posterior border of tin- segment; when this really happens, the marking can acquire 



shape of an anchor, like in the worm ol the Utrecht Museum, described in my above- 

 named paper. A faint coloured band runs behind the gills and along the posterior side of the 

 notopodium. A violet stripe occurs over the middle of the caruncle and the main stem of the 

 branchiae; the dorsal cirri are dark coloured in their basal part, paler distally. The caruncle 

 extends till upon the anterior part of the 5 th segment; its median crest consists of 22 to 

 2 ; folds. The unpaired antenna hardly reaches to half the length of the caruncle. The first 

 branchia is situated on the 4 ,h segment. The bristles are not yellow like in Chl. jlava, but 

 have a yellow-red hue, especially those of the neuropodium. The neuropodium bears a thick 

 fascicle of slender, capillary bristles (PI. \'111, fig. 3), with a shortly bifurcated tip, the short 

 branch more resembling a tooth (Baird). The notopodial setae are much stronger, serrated, with 

 harpoon-shaped teeth below the apex and not bifurcated but only provided with a ver}' small, 

 pointed spur (PI. VIII, fig. 1); this could only be observed in fresh specimens, preserved in 

 formaline. The tij) of these bristles has a translucent, vitreous appearance, whereas the shaft has 

 a yellow-red hue. In the anterior live segments the setae are bifurcated, but they want the teeth; 

 these appear at first in the bristles of the 6 lh or y ih segment. The posterior body-segments 

 possess only serrated and some quite smooth bristles (PI. VIII, fig. 2). Baird, who first described 

 Chloeia paria, had at his disposal only a small specimen, 25 mm. in length, the locality of 

 which was unknown; nevertheless I do not hesitate to identify our worms with his species. I think 

 that also two specimens from Aru-bay (East Sumatra), collected by van Xouifvs, belong to 

 this species, though the bristles are too much disorganized to recognizc their true nature; also 



red body-colour was quite lost.

The largest specimen has a length of 65 mm., its greatest breadth (without bristles) 



[3 mm.; the number of its segments amounts to 37. The body is more slender than 



that of Chl. specimens of this worm of about the same sizc are much broader (18 mm.) 



than those of Chl. conspicua. The ground-colour is yellowish grey, nearlj white, but diere are
