CABLE HAULS OF MARINE INVERTEBRATES.—HONEYMAN, 267 
this. Under the microscope the spatula has fine cross lines. The 
parapodia are bunches of bristles. They have a brilliancy in 
sunshine like those of Aphrodite. These bristles under the 
microscope are very beautiful. Some are doubly serrated and 
ensiform, others are long narrow cones without serratures and 
sharply pointed. On our microscopic slides are detached ones. 
We have one of our best specimens, which we allowed to dry in 
sunshine, on a glass slide. Observing it with the 14 in. objective 
the sight was interesting. Bristles made their appearance in 
front—two conical and sharp pointed ones—so as to have the 
appearance of two horns. The whole body became translucent, 
showing the imbedded parts of the bristles, on either side almost 
meeting in the middle of the body. ‘The bristles of the parapodia 
are in this specimen directed forward. We have it enclosed 
in dried Canada Balsam. Another specimen, head and part of the 
body, was prepared in the same way. In this one of the pointed 
conical, bristles at the front, is fractured. 
Yet another specimen was laid on its back and dried in a 
similar manner. ‘This shewed a formidable front with 6 project- 
ing bristle points. The parapodia terminate at the top of the 
“spatula.” We have not been able to recognize our annelid in 
any other, actual or figured. We give it the provisional name 
Eunicea? Trott. We will now look at its work. There are 
four pieces of the Cable before us. Ist, is intact. 2nd, shews 
the iron wire, with the hemp between. There are numerous 
holes in the hemp—burrows of /. Trottiz. 38rd and 4th, shows 
the gutta percha insulator pitted all over, but not deeply. These 
are the evident ends of the burrows. The frontal bristles of the 
annelid may have made the pits and one of them suffered in 
consequence. Our specimens of the annelid were taken from the 
hemp. One is still partially enclosed in it. 
ARTHROPODA. 
Our next are Arthropoda, Class 1st, Crustacea, Sub-Class 
Cirripedia, Balanoid. Among the debris of Cable I, we found 
parts of the shell of a balanus.
