Text figure 6. — Eunice grubei Gravier: a parapodium with gill, of the one 



hundred and thirteenth somite, median part of body, X 12; b, c, and d, 



setae from the Falcon Island, Queensland, specimen, x 50. 



Material examined: One specimen, imperfect, collected at 

 Falcon Island, Palm Islands, Queensland, October 7, 1931, by the 

 "Alva." 



Discussion : The diagnostic characters of this species are to 

 be found in the tentacles, which are articulate, though sometimes 

 only faintly so ; the distribution of the gills, which begin on the 

 third to fourth somite and continue almost to the last somites, 

 there being from four to ten filaments per gill. The acicula are 

 yellow or dark ; the acicular setae are bidentate. The setae figured 

 are from the Falcon Island specimen.
