members of Anaitides. The figures given by Pallas show that his species was, 

 in part at least, a true Anaitides. Phyllodoce laminosa Savigny, is not an 

 Anaitides. Mcintosh erroneously makes this a synonym of the lamellifera 

 of Pallas, the lamelligera of Gmelin. In the Pacific A . lamellifera proper has pre- 

 viously been recorded from the Moluccas (Fischli, supra) and from Japan 

 (Izuka).

Locality. Off Peru: Sta. 4653 (lat. 5° 47' S., long. 81° 24' W.). Depth 

 536 fms. Bottom dark brown volcanic mud. Bottom temp. 41.3° F. 12 

 November, 1904. One incomplete specimen. 



The fragment consists of the anterior end. Exclusive of the fully protruded 

 proboscis it is about eight nulhmeters long with a width, exclusive of the para- 

 podia, of 1.2 mm. and over all of 3.5 mm. The extruded proboscis is 3.8 mm. 

 long. There are forty somites present. 



Bergstrcm {loc. cit.) states that he has found only sixteen or eighteen papillae 

 in the crown about the opening of the proboscis ; but in the present specimen the 

 nimiber is seventeen, the same as given by Ehlers (op. cit., 1897, p. 28) for his 

 South Georgian specimens. Treadwell gives sixteen for his Hawaiian speci- 

 mens. Bergstrom finds only five papillae in the middorsal series and never 

 more than nine or ten in each lateral series, and considers higher counts than 

 this due to confusion between series resulting from contraction in preservation. 

 The present specimen, however, fully substantiates WUley who found larger num- 

 bers. In the middorsal series there are nine papiUae of which the two most prox- 

 imal and the one most distal are smaller. In the lateral rows the number varies 

 from ten to twelve. The tentacles do not show the proximal annulation men- 

 tioned by Langerhans and Ehlers, this being due, most likely, to preservation. 

 It is possible that the species is here too broadly conceived; but in the evi- 

 dence available I find no good grounds for a division. This appears to be the
