Descriptions of new Metanemerteans, with Notes on 



other species. 



By 

 Thos. H. Montgomery jr., Ph. D. 



With Plate 1. 



In his paper "The marine Nemerteans of New England" (in : 

 Trans. Connect. Acad., V. 8, 1892), Verrill has described a con- 

 siderable number of new species, frora various points along the eastern 

 coast of N. A. ; but this author had treated to very little extent the 

 internal anatomy of these species. It is my purpose here to give 

 brief anatomical notes on certain forms already described, with de- 

 scriptions of two new genera and three new species of Metanemerteans. 



The species treated of I collected at Newport, R.-L, and Wood's 

 Holl, Mass., during the summer of 1895 ; and at Sea Isle, N.-J., during 

 June of the present year. All these species are found on sea-weeds 

 and stones at low water mark, or at the same tide level on the 

 wooden piers of bridges, etc. I had no opportunity for dredging at 

 ^reater depths, which accounts for the small number of forms an- 

 notated in this paper. 



To Dr. Alex. Agassiz, for the use of a table at his Newport 

 laboratory; to the gentlemen in Charge of the U. S. Fish Commission 

 laboratory at Wood's Holl, and of the University of Pennsylvania 

 laboratory at Sea Isle, I would express my thanks, for the oppor- 

 tunities for collecting, ofifered me at these institutions.
