Description. — Length up to 93 mm., width including setae up to 

 3 mm., segments up to 200. Anterior dorsal cirri sub triangular, 

 nearly symmetrical; median and posterior dorsal cirri very asym- 

 metrical, the outer side being longer than the inner side, elongate, 

 conical, the attached margin exceedingly concave, enveloping the 

 parapodial cirrophore which may be filled with coelomic contents 

 including eggs or sperm masses. Color, in life: pale yellow or

 were massed with eggs in December (Mississippi, 1943). Small 

 specimens were found on the bottom (as few as 13 segments; Ches-
