The cephalic lobe has a very deep incision 

 (PI. 11, fig. 9); the latter readies so far that it almost 

 divides the head in two halves. The frontal promi- 

 nences are distinct and diverge somewhat No eyes 



are seen from above, but the usual two pairs are both 



present; the\ are ver\ feeble in colour; the hindmost 



pair is situated so caudally that it is hidden under 



the nuchal fold, and the two foremost eves are so 



ventrally situated that they cannot be seen unless 



the animal is turned round. None of the eyes is 



seen in the fieure.

The unpaired tentacle is lacking but its basal 



joint, being very strong, shows that the former probably has been of considerable length. The two paired 

 tentacles are relatively short and slender, in length about one third of the length of the palps. These latter 

 are rather thick but their distal third is represented by a long and thin terminal filament. The palps are 



quite smooth while the tentacles are densely beset with long 

 filiform papillae, the apex of which is somewhat extended. 

 The tentacular cirri are provided with a rather long basal 

 joint and are considerably longer than the palps; they are, 

 like the tentacles, beset with papillae. 



The largest of the fragments consists — the head and 

 buccal segment not counted — of 14 segments. The position of 

 the elytrophores shows that the arrangement of the scales is that 

 usual in the Polyuoids. The colour is dark violet. The pigment- 

 ation does not extend to the cephalic lobe and its appendages. 



The parapodia are rather prominent; the neuropodial 

 branch projects more than the notopodial, and the former is 

 provided with a flab. The setae are long, especially the neuro- 

 podial seta;, and they are present in considerable numbers (fig. 5). 



The dorsal cirri are entirely lacking, thus their length can- 

 not be stated; I suppose them to be rather long and beset with 

 papillae, as far as it is allowed one to judge from the tentacular 

 cirri. The ventral cirrus is medium length it is devoid of papillae. 

 The segmental papillae are distinct but only a little prominent. 



The dorsal setae, which are of the usual sword-shaped 

 tvpe, are rather strong, the most ventrally situated are the 

 longest and tolerably straight; those nearest the dorsum are 

 curved and relatively short. The transverse rows of spines 

 stretches towards the tip of the bristle and leave only the apex 

 free (fig. 6 d).
