POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS FROM PHILIPPINE SEAS. 591 



4 



lenger specimens. No elytra remained and the head in each was 

 badly preserved, so that it was impossible to be certain as to their 

 normal form. In all cases the head had been rolled over so that the 

 basal joint of the median antenna had been directly posteriorly. 

 Some of the few remaining cirri showed a violet color and the inner 

 surface of the proboscis is a dark color, as described by Mcintosh. 



Collected from D5122, Malabrigo Light, East coast of Mindoro, 

 N. 46° W.,20.G0 miles (13° 21' 30"' N.; 120° 30' 33" E.) 220 fathoms, 

 green mud bottom. D5114, Sombrero Island, Balayan Bay, N. 36° 

 E., 7.2 miles (13° 36' 11" N.; 120° 45' 26" E.) 340 fathoms, fine sand 

 bottom. 



POLYNOE OCELLATA Mcintosh. 



Polynoe ocellata McIntosh, 1885, p. 126, pi. 12, fig. 3 ; pi. 12a. 



A few were found at D5382, Arena Point, Luzon, S. 55° W., 3.8 

 miles (13° 15' 20" N.; 122° 45' 30" E.), 128 fathoms, mud bottom, 

 in tubes which were apparently made by Phyllochaetojiterus 

 claperedii, though none of the animals were to be found, and they 

 may have been made by some other member of this family. None of 

 the Poly noes were well preserved, but enough remained to establish 

 their identity.

 7, figs. 1-2 ; pi. 6a, figs. 2, 3. 



Collected at D5123, Malabrigo Light, East coast of Mindoro, 

 N. 44° W., 32.50 miles (13° 12' 45" N.; 121° 38' 45" E.), 283 

 fathoms, green mud bottom.

IPHIONE CIMEX Quatrefages. 



Iphione cimex Quatrefages, 1865, p. 270. 



Iphionella cimex McIntosh, 1885, p. 58, pi. 9, figs. 4-6 ; pi. 18, fig. 3 ; pi. 8a, 

 figs. 7, 8. 



Mcintosh proposed a new generic name for this form, but did 

 not define his generic characters. The specimen agreed with his 

 description except that he saw no antennae. No median antenna 

 was preserved, but there were two lateral antennae with rather long, 

 dark-colored basal portions nearly twice as long as the head, each 

 having a filamentous tip longer than the basal portion. On each 

 elytrophore, underneath the elytron, is a thin translucent plate like 

 a shadow of the elytron. 



Mcintosh stated that the ventral setae are more prominent than 

 the dorsal ones. In this specimen the dense tuft of slender serrated 

 dorsal setae entirely obscures the stouter ventral one.
