Of this species there is a fragment consisting of the first 9 seg- 

 ments. It is badly preserved and all the elytra are wanting. That 

 it belongs to this species, however, is shown sufficiently clearly by 

 the bristles, the form of which is very characteristic and agrees 

 exactly with the description and figures of Malmgren.

So far as I can see, this species has not hitherto been described. 

 It seems to me to show most resemblance to a form described by 

 AuGENER under the name of Eiinoe Dijbowskyia (Eiinoe nodosa М. Sars 

 var. Dijbowskiji), but close examination shows that it cannot be re- 

 ferred to this form. I obtained certainty of this through friendly in- 

 formation from Mr. AuGENER, to whom I sent a preparation of an 

 elytron and a parapodium. 



The material available consists of three fragments, which all, so 

 far as I can see, belong to one individual. 



The cephalic lobe is somewhat broader than long, the propor- 

 tion of length to breadth being as 7 to 9. Anteriorly it has a broad 

 and very deep incision ; each of the two lateral halves run out into 

 a rounded, papilla-like terminal part which is strongly curved out to 

 the side. The hindmost eyes are close to the posterior margin of 

 the head, widely separated from one another, each of them almost 

 in a straight line from the points of the lateral lobes, so that lines 

 drawn from these and touching the outer periphery of the two eyes 

 Avould be almost parallel. The front eyes lie on the sides of the 

 head, so that both are not fully visible at the same time, when the 

 head is viewed from above. The unpaired antenna is wanting; its 

 basal part, which is present, is fairly thick and has almost the same 

 length as the two paired antennae, not including the terminal fila- 

 ment of the latter, which is just as long as the antenna itself. The
