Genus ETEONE Savigny, 1820 



?Eteone sp. 

 (Plate 5, figs. 3, 4) 



A small, white depressed phyllodocid comes from the Patton escarp- 

 ment (Sta. 5937). It is nearly complete but lacks head and tail ends. 

 It measures about 9 mm long. Parapodia are uniramous, have short, 

 somewhat imbricated, broadly inserted dorsal cirri (Plate 5, fig. 3) 

 distally surpassed by the setigerous lobe, as is characteristic of some 

 species of Eteone. Ventral cirri resemble dorsal cirri but are smaller. 

 A single pale rodlike aciculum extends distally to the end of the acutely 

 pointed acicular lobe or slightly beyond it. Four to six spinigerous setae 

 form a spreading fascicle. They have a shaft ending in a smooth 

 articulation (Plate 5, fig. 4) and a long, slightly curved appendage 

 with delicate serrations along the cutting edge. 



Parapodial parts with setae resemble those of Eteone bistriata Uscha- 

 kov (1953b, p. 29) from the north Pacific Ocean but differ from the 

 latter in that dorsal cirri are more reduced in the specimen from 

 California. Another, perhaps nearly related, is Eteone barantollae Fauvel 

 (1932, p. 73) from Calcutta, India, in salt water lakes. 



f Eteone sp. was taken only from the outermost station, at Patton 

 escarpment, in 713 fms.

Paralacydonia paradoxa Fauvel, 1913

Fauvel, 1914, pp. 118-121, pi. 7, figs. 1-9. 



Uschakov, 1958b, pp. 221-223, figs. 1-2. 



Single individuals were taken from stations in San Nicolas, West 

 Cortes, San Clemente, Long and Velero Basins, and all from depths 

 greater than 960 fms. 



The body is short, pale to white, slender and appears fragile. Total 

 length of 55 segments is about 15 mm, and width at the widest part 

 or ninth segment is 1.4 mm; thereafter the body is gradually narrower 

 to linear. The prostomium is a short, trapezoidal lobe, widest posteriorly, 

 and has 4 short, subequal antennae at its frontal margin; there are no
