At first it seemed that it would be necessary to institute a new genus 

 for this s])ecies. Afterwards two minute papilhne were found on the an- 

 terior angles of the head, which are doubtless rudimentary antennae. 

 As they are too small to be seen even with an ordinary hand magnify- 

 ing glass, it is not surprising that Schmarda failed to mention them. 

 Mr. Goode collected nine specimens of this species, and the museum of 

 Union College has a large number of specimens, collected by myself on 

 the west cost of Florida, from Sarasota Bay to Key West. Schmarda 

 states correctly in the text that there are sixteen tentacular cirri; his 

 figure shows but fourteen. These, like the dorsal cirri, arise from long 

 cylindrical basal articles. From Schmarda's figure they would seem to 

 arise in a linear series ; in fact they are in pairs, one above the other. 

 The basal article of the ventral cirri is very short. The upper margin 

 of the foot (Fig. 21) is prolonged into a conical cirrus. According to 

 my Florida notes the antennae are red. It is imi)0S8ible to determine 

 from alcoholic specimens how many segments bear tentacular cirri, but 

 there appears to be but one. 



The ante-anal segment has no pedal rami, nor set«e, but merely two 

 long cirri, dorsal and ventral. 



The anal segment has two long anal cirri, as long as the dorsal cirri. 

 The anal opening is surrounded by a series of low, flattened, projections, 

 with convex external margin, oval in form, abbut six in number. 



It would appear that Schmarda's specimens had lost the anal cirri.

The collection contains a few specimens much injured, but probably 

 belonging to this species.
