Genus Chloeia Savigny. 



Bodv oval. Caruncle composed of a plaited crest, arising from a horizontal plate, fold<d 



along its margin. Pinnated branchiae. All bristles more or less bifurcated; the ventra] ones 



smooth, those of the dorsal fascicle in some anterior segments smooth, in those of the posterior 



body-region serrated along the outer border. Two anal cirri sausage- or finger-shaped. Anus 

 in the last segment.

h is a surprising fact, that this species, that may be considered as a common Indian 

 worm, is npresented in the Siboga-material by a fragment only, consisting of some anterior 

 body-segments. Hitherto it was met with in a region, extending from Salawatti westward till 

 Ceylon, while northward it was found near the Philippines and the Coast of Japan'). In the 

 narrativ<- of the cruise of the "Gazelle", we find mentioned, that it was also found near Cape 

 Verd; however this locality appears to me very dubious or perhaps it concerns an individual 

 accidentally went astray like the specimen of Hermodice carunculata met with near Doggersbank 

 1>\ th<- "Valdivia". Mc Intosh, in a critical account of the synonymy of this species, pointed out 

 that Ch/. incerta Qtrf. as well as C/il. tumida Baird must be identified with this species; 

 rtainly the confusion must be ascribed for a great part to the investigation of specimens 

 preserved during a long period, in which not only the original colour nearly totall)- tlisappeared,
