30 THE ANNELIDA POLYCHAETA. 



350 mm. long, has a maximum width, exclusive of setae, of 15.5 mm. and inclu- 

 sive of setae of 20 mm. It consists of one hundi-ed and eighty-four somites or 

 near that number.

The general color of the body is yellowish throughout ; the setae a brighter, 

 uniform yellow; the dorsal cirri deep violaceous or purplish, becoming more 

 dilute distad. 



The body is narrower caudad, being narrowly obovate in outline. The 

 length is near 10 mm. and the greatest width, exclusive of the setae, is about 

 4.2 mm. ; the longest setae measure 3.2 mim. There are twenty-three or twenty- 

 four somites (or twenty without the cauda). 



The anterior paired tentacles are widely separated at the base; they are 

 paler in color and about two thirds as long as the posterior ones. The pos- 

 terior paired tentacles are inserted close together immediately in front of the 

 anterior end of the caruncle; they are shorter than the median tentacle which 

 in turn is only about half as long as the caruncle. All the tentacles are of the 

 usual subulate type. None has any dark pigmentation. 



The elevated caruncle is attached in front to the first two somites but extends 

 caudad to the fifth where it ends freely. It narrows continuously from the 

 anterior end to the posterior. It is doubly crenate or foliate as usual, there 

 being in the type eight to ten pairs of foliae. The color is yellow throughout 

 with no dark markings. 



The mouth is a simple opening. From it there extends forward and about 

 the anterior end the usual two connate palpal ridges. It ends at the third somite 

 which on the ventral side is longest at the middle with the median region longi- 

 tudinally wrinkled. 



The typical segments of the body have the usual general structure. Ven- 

 trally the somites show many longitudinal impressed sulci and along the mid- 



' (frvwos, impressed.
