SllO ANNELIDA FROM BERMUDA. 



There are, probably, four eyes, but in the alcoholic specimens only two 

 could be seen ; these were lateral, circular, large, on the median line. 



Antennoe smooth, cylindrical to near the apex, then tapering sud- 

 <lenly; median antenna about one-third longer than the lateral. 



Superior tentacular cirrus about equal in length to the median anten- 

 na; inferior cirrus as long as the lateral antenna?. 



Palpi triangular, stout, tapering uniformly to near the end, terminat- 

 ing in a small conical jirocess; their margins are scalloped, and their 

 surfaces thrown into folds by deeply impressed lines ; length about that 

 •of the lateral antennae. 



There are eighteen pairs of elytra. (Schmarda gives seventeen in 

 the text; in the figure, seventeen on one side, eighteen on the other). 

 The first pair, circular; the others, oval (Fig. 18) ; slightly emarginate 

 along the anterior margin ; covered with small, white, rounded papillae 

 on their exposed surface, becoming more numerous on the posterior 

 elytra. 



The feet are quite stout; dorsal ramus (Fig. 17) minute; ventral ra- 

 mus divided into two parts by slight longitudinal constrictions ; dorsal 

 cirri arising from stout basal articles, reaching a little beyond the ven- 

 tral setae; ventral cirri of first pair as long as the dorsal cirri, and sim- 

 ilar to them in all respects, directed forwards. After the first pair they 

 arise from minute basal articles, are fusiform, reach to the end of the 

 ventral ramus. 



There are from G to 10 dorsal setae (Fig. 20), short, acute, broad at 

 43ase, transversely serrate. Ventral setae (Fig. 19) stout, bi-dentate, ex- 

 cept those of the first segment, Avhich end in a single point. They are 

 in two bundles, but are all of one kind. 



Exposed part of elytra, blue; covered part, grayish- white ; papillae 

 of elytra, white; body, beneath the elytra, blue; anterior part of head 

 and bases of elytra, blue ; posterior part of head with numerous black 

 l)igment spots ; feet and ventral surface, yellowish- white; dorsal cirri 

 with a blackish band near the base, and another about two-thirds of the 

 Avay out. 



I refer the specimens sent me by Mr. Goode to Polynoe leucohyha 

 Schmarda, though it will be seen that the figures differ, especially 

 those of the set:p.. Baird has doubtfully referred this species to An- 

 tinoe KiNBERG, but Fig. IG shows that it cannot be so referred. 

 ■Schmarda says nothing about the head.
