NO. 2 HARTMAN, BARNARD: BENTHIC FAUNA OF DEEP BASINS 103 



instead of yellow and thus approach the condition known for L. japonica 

 Marenzeller (see Hartman, 1944, p. 159). 

 L. latreilli has a world-wide distribution.

 Hartman, 1944, pp. 161-162, pi. 11, figs. 230-237. 



Numerous individuals come from East Cortes, West Cortes, San 

 Nicolas and Tanner Basins. All are much smaller than typical specimens 

 from shallower ocean bottoms off southern California, and the pro- 

 stomium is rounded in front instead of being equitriangular.

A specimen from Santa Catalina Basin in 597 fms agrees with this 

 species as interpreted by Hartman (1944, p. 144). The species is more 

 extensively known from southern California south to Chile, usually in 

 shallow littoral depths.

The present finds are from San Nicolas, Velero and questionably 

 San Clemente Basins. The species is characterized by having only simple 

 limbate setae in the first 25 or more segments. Simple hooded hooks are 

 present in more posterior parapodia. The species was first described from 

 off Santa Catalina Island in 1350 to 2180 fms. It is known only through 

 these records. 



Lumbrineris longensis, new species 



Two individuals come from Long Basin (Sta. 6350) in 916 fms. 

 Total length of the larger one is 120 mm and width, without parapodia, 

 is 5 mm. Segments number more than 260 (a tail end is lacking). The 

 body cavity contains large ova. The anterior end is unusually narrowed 

 and the prostomium is a small depressed conical lobe, dusky except for a 

 pale tip ; it lacks eyes. The first 2 segments are smooth rings, with the 

 second one about as long as the first setigerous segment and the first ring 

 somewhat longer. 



The anterior third region of the body has unusually long, slender 

 capillary setae; they are present from about segment 14 through 30 and
