JAPANESE PALOLOj C1KAT0CEPHALE OSA W AI, N. SP. o7 



Postscript. 



Professur K. Osawa presented before the V. International 

 Zoologists' Congress (Berlin, 1901) a paper entitled " Ueber die 

 japanischen Palolo," in which he, as I am told by him, dealt 

 principally with the swarming habit, leaving the worm undescribed. 

 The paper should have already appeared, in the " Verhandlungen," 

 accompanied with a plate. Unfortunately the said " Verhand- 

 lungen " had nut arrived in Japan before the time when I had 

 to send my manuscript to the press ; so that much tu my regret, 

 I could neither refer to nor benefit by his paper. It is more 

 than probable that some facts already known through him have 

 been unnecessarily redescribed by me in this contribution, for 

 which repetition I herewith beg to offer my apology. 



Tokyo, May 27th, 1903.
