From the above locality there are 3 fragments of a Polynoid, 

 belonging in all probability to one individual and in this case cer- 

 tainly composing the whole animal. Thus, the elytra-bearing seg- 

 ments correspond with the rule: 1, 3, 4, 6 etc. up to segment 22, 

 then the elytra are again found on the segments 25, 28 and 31. The 

 whole animal consists of 39 bristle-bearing segments, with no elytra 

 on the last 7 of these. From the measurements of the three avail- 

 able fragments the animal has a length of 26 mm. ; the greatest 

 breadth, which falls about the 10th segment, has been ca. 8. mm., 

 including the parapodia; without parapodia the breadth measured at 

 the same place is ca. 4 mm. The cephalic lobe is very deeply incised 

 anteriorly, the projecting lateral portions are strongly arched and 

 run out into a small, thin point. The form of these lateral portions 

 most nearly resembles a couple of Nereid palps, but here the point 

 is not detached as an independent joint. The two hindmost eyes 

 lie relatively far from one another, near the posterior margin of the 

 cephalic lobe, medially from the basal part of the lateral lobes. The
