striking likeness in general form and structure to those of 

 the Norwegian form, this likeness being further emphasised 

 upon a detailed microscopic examination. The capillary 

 bristles of the notopodium are alike in size and structure. 

 The jointed bristles of the neuropodia are also curiously 

 alike in minute detail in the two forms so widely separated 

 in their distribution. This will be seen from Figs. 3 and 4, 

 which show the insertion of the free distal portion of the 

 bristle into the socket of the proximal portion in the two 

 forms. 



The genus Goniada is cosmopolitan. It does not 

 appear to have been taken in very deep water. The 

 tropical species are : —

* Doubtfully referred to genus Goniada. 



t Insufficiently described for comparative purposes. 

 ! Kinberg states that the prostomium of G. virginii has 12 annuli. 

 According to Arwidsson's classification all the members of the family 

 Goniada have 9 prostomial annuli.
