Fam. Syllidae. 



Odontosyllis picta (Ehlers, 1904). Eurymedusa picta Ehlers. 



This species does not belong to Kinberg's genus Eurymedusa, as Ehlers 

 supposed ; he compared it with the type, but the state of preservation of 

 that did not allow him to study the protruded pharynx. An examination 

 of duplicates of the specimen which I sent to Ehlers shows quite clearly 

 the row of denticles characteristic of Odontosyllis* 



Whether the specimen received by him from Schauinsland from Laysan 

 is identical with our New Zealand species, of course I cannot say.
