The larger example from Stat. 305 has the arms about 100 mm. long and the cirri 

 XIX, 21 — : i.illy 22— zy\ 17 mm. long ; the fourth is a transition segment; the distal 



intersyzygial interval is three oblique muscular articulations. Tbc other specimen is similar, but 

 slightly smaller: the single complete cirrus bas 20 segments of which the fourth is a tran-
