There is only one uneinus, curved and forcipate at the apex. 

 The setae and spines are all present as in the preceding species.

Hab. In holes of coral rocks in Jamaica. 



In this species, which I consider to be identical with the Eunice 

 macrochcsta of Schmarda, the three kinds of setse, simple, pecti- 

 nate, and compound, are present. There is only one spine, which 

 is strong, straight, and club-shaped at the apex, and one uneinus, 

 which is strongly forcipate.

Hob. !N'orth Australia, Elsey. 



The specimen we possess is in such bad condition that I can 

 only refer it with doubt to the species described by Quatrefages. 

 The falciform appendage of the compound seta? is slender and 

 destitute of teeth. There is only one spine, but two uncini, 

 which are smaller and lighter-coloured than the spine, curved and 

 forcipate at the apex. 



Sp. 10. Eunice eijiensis, Baird. 



Body slender, segments about ninety-eight in number. Branchiae 

 commence upon the seventh foot-bearing segment. The setae of 

 the feet are not numerous. The simple setae are rather broadly 

 lanceolate and very sharp-pointed. Pectinate setae appear to be 

 absent altogether. The compound setae have the falciform ap- 

 pendage bidentate at the apex. There are two spines or aciculae, 

 which are stout, swollen in the middle of their length, and slightly 

 curved at the point. Only one uneinus or booklet is present, 

 which is strongly and distinctly tridentate at the apex, and has 

 the shaft curved. It approaches somewhat to the Eunice gracilis 

 of Grrube, from Tahiti.

Body cylindrical, smooth, of a light iridescent colour, about 

 Ij inch long. Head with two lobes. Buccal segment rather 

 narrow, not mu.ch broader than the following segment. Tentacle, 

 antennae, and palpi rather long, ringed with black marks, but not
