22. Interramal cirri first present from fourth segment; post- 

 erior neuroacicular lobes incised . N. caecoides, p. 101

Nephtys ciliata (Miiller) 



Fauvel, 1923, p. 371, fig. 145; Hartman, 1938, pp. 144-145; Berkeley, 

 1942, p. 193; Hartman, 1944c, p. 339, pi. 47, fig. 10. 



Collections. — Howe Island, Greenland ( 1 ) ; Puget Sound, Wash- 

 ington ( 1 ) ; Yes Bay, Alaska (8) . 



The specimens examined grossly resemble N. calif or niensis, below, 

 but they differ in having the proboscis proximally covered with flattened 

 processes instead of being smooth; each process has its beak directed 

 away from the distal papillae. Interramal cirri are first present on 

 segment 5 or 6. 



Distribution. — This is a circumpolar species in littoral zones in a 

 sandy substratum. 



Nephtys caeca (Miiller) 



Fauvel, 1923, pp. 365-366, fig. 142; Hartman, 1938, pp. 144-145; 

 Hartman, 1948a, pp. 24-25. 



Collections. — Southern Alaska (several) ; Washington (4) ; British 

 Columbia, Canada (several); Oregon (1); northern California (1); 

 Massachusetts (2) ; southern England (1) ; Scotland (1). 



The proximal surface of the proboscis is strewn with wartlike pro- 

 cesses ; postsetal lamellae of parapodia are broadly foliaceous. 



Distribution. — This is a cold water, circumboreal species; it seldom 

 occurs south to California.
