NO. 1 hartman: goniadidae, glyceridae, nephtyidae 51 



this portion exceeds in length the free, erect part. The other pieces on 

 area II are similarly prolonged in their basal parts but in diminishing 

 degree. Another individual from Clarion Island, Galapagos (station 

 915-38) differs from typical ones in having these bases proportionately 

 shorter. 



Presetal, neuropodial lobes are distinctly obcordate in anterior and 

 median segments; after segment 100 they come to be merely triangular. 

 This obcordate condition is also less marked in juvenile, than in adult 

 individuals ; it may not be reliable for specific identification. 



Earlier G. armigera (Hartman, 1940, pp. 250-251) was question- 

 ably referred to G. multidens Miiller. For reasons detailed below they 

 are here regarded distinct, although the latter remains very poorly 

 known, rendering clear separation difficult. 



Distribution. — G. armigera Moore is abundant off southern Cali- 

 fornia; it is widely distributed in the Eastern Pacific from British 

 Columbia (Berkeley, 1942) south at least to Central America, and 

 west to the Galapagos Islands; it ranges from low intertidal zones to 

 275 fms.
