Tn the first parapodium there are also curved setae, such as those in 

 Figure 3, d, and a number of straight ones, slender, sharp-pointed, 

 and bilimbate. 



The jaw apparatus is very light brown except for a transverse 

 line at the junction of fang and carrier, the tips of the forceps, and 

 the apices of some smaller teeth. The carriers are short (fig. 3, /), 

 the width at the junction of the forceps nearly equal to their length. 

 The right paired plate has 9 teeth, the left 8, the unpaired 9, the 

 terminal 6 or 7. The mandibles are very slender and light brown 

 except for a dark patch at the junction of the two halves. The bev- 

 eled edges are oval, with a white incrustation. (Fig. 3, g.) 



The animals live in thick-walled tubes composed of sand grains.

MALDANE PHILIPPINENSIS, new species 



Figure 4 



At Station D5582 in the vicinity of Darvel Bay, Borneo, off Si 

 Amil Island (4° 19' 54" N., 118° 58' 38" E.), the Albatross obtained 

 fragments of a new species of Maldane on September 26, 1909, in 890 

 fathoms, in gray mud and fine sand bottom. No specimen is entire, 

 but both anterior and posterior fragments are present, so that the 

 essential taxonomic features can be determined. Since the fragments 

 are in tubes in a homogeneous mass of grayish mud, it seems certain 

 that these anterior and posterior ends really belong to the same indi-
