NEREIS PAUCIDENTATA Moore 



nereis paticidentata Moore, 1903, pp. 430, 431, pi. 24, figs. 28, 29, 30. 

 A fragment of the anterior end of one specimen undoubtedly of 

 this species. 



Collected at " side saddle " by N. Gist Gee. 



Family LEODICIDAE 



Genus LEODICE Savigny 



LEODICE APHRODITOIS Pallas 



Nereis aplirodiiois Pallas, 1788, p. 229, pi. 5, figs. 1-7. 



A single specimen. I have elsewhere (1922, pp. 134 to 136, pi. 1, 

 figs. 12-17, text figs. 3-7), described and figured this species from 

 Samoa, and have given there references to the literature from which 

 it appears that this is a very variable species. This single specimen 

 from Japan does not agree in all details with any others I have seen, 

 or with the various descriptions in the literature, but resembles them 

 all sufficiently closely so that I have placed it in this species. My 

 identification is largely based on the character of the jaws and gills. 

 The dorsal cirri are much toore slender than in those I collected in 

 Samoa. 



" Japan " is the only locality given. 



Genus LYSIDICE Savigny 



LYSIDICE COLLARIS Grube 



Lysidice collaris Grxjbe, 1878, pp. 166 and 167. 

 A single specimen, collected at Peiyushan Light House Station, 

 by N. Gist Gee. 



Family SABELLIDAE 



Genus EURATO St. Joseph 



EURATO PUNCTATA, new species 



Two specimens are in the collection, one, the type, being entire. 

 This has a body-length of 35 mm. and a width of 2.75 mm. and is 

 composed of about 100 somites. The body tapers uniformly and 

 rather sharply to the pygidium which is not more than 0.5 mm. in 

 diameter. In each somite on either side is a pair of dark spots, 

 one dorsal and one ventral to the seta tuft, the dorsal one being 

 the larger and the more prominent. These are the only constant
