At this Station a badly preserved worm (without elytra) was dredged, that with regard 

 to the structure of its fcet and bristles much agrees with Harm. benthaliana, found by the 

 Challenger Expedition near the coast of America, at a depth of 1240 fathoms. The ventral 

 division of the parapodia is provided with a lobe and contains a fascicle of bifid bristles, the 

 superior of which are rather slender with elongated spinous regions, whereas the dorsal division 

 carries a tuft of boldly curved bristles with spinous rows and a peculiarly flattened tip, 

 that has a knive-edge aspect on the convex side.

This species, easily recognised by the areolate structure and the bifid spines of its 

 elytra, appears to be distributed over a very large area, as it was at first mentioned by Grube 

 from the Philippines, by Willey from Ceylon and afterwards met with by Fauvel in the Gulf 

 of Persia, by Michaelsen and Hartmeyer in Sharks Bay (Südwest-Australia).

This specimen much agrees with Evamie kergnelensis^ described by Mc Ixtosh from 

 Kerguelen Island. It has i'j segments and measures about 10 mm. in length. 



There are two pairs of conspicuous eyes, the anterior being situated on the lateral 

 prominences of the head, the posterior on its posterior half. The tentacle is rather long, longer 

 than the palpi and is provided with a filiform tip and densely covered with cilia. The scales are 

 roundish, slightly concave in front ; the outer and posterior part of their margin is provided 

 with long cilia, whereas the inner and anterior part is smooth. Their surface is for the greater 

 part covered with conical spines, towards the posterior border a few of them increasing to large, 

 bluntly conical papillae. The ventral lobe of the parapodia is much more developed than the 

 dorsal one, and provided with a rather long digitiform process ; its bristles mostly have a slender 

 smooth tip, without secondary tooth. The notopodial setae also have a rather acute, smooth tip.
