with a black semicircular patch on the inner edge. 

 They do not overlap each other except near the head. 

 On the body of the animal they are wide apart, leaving 

 the centre of the back exposed. The proboscis is large 

 and wrinkled, and the jaws are of a reddish-brown 

 colour. The antennae are five in number, the central 

 one being nearly three times as long as the external 

 pair, and of a pure white colour ; the internal and ex- 

 ternal pairs white, tinged with black. The feet are very 

 prominent, strong, rounded, conical, and armed with 

 seven or eight stout brown bristles. The second branch 

 is extremely small, and sends off two or three very small 

 white setae. The superior cirrus is tolerably long and 

 sharp-pointed ; it is pedunculated, the peduncle being 

 stout, conical, and of a deep black colour. The inferior 

 cirrus is short, conical, and sharp-pointed. The last 

 segment of the body is terminated by two tolerably 

 stout but not long cirri.' Hob. Esquimalt Harbour,

This species is about three inches long, and rather

 line of a much darker brown running along the whole 

 leno-th of the centre of the back. On the surface a

 membranous, and of a light brown colour. The two first 

 overlap each other slightly in the middle ; but for the
