LEODICID^ OF THE WEST INDIAN REGION. 



become bifid at about this point, but arise much earUer. His figures of the setse and 

 of the gill-bearing parapodia are similar to mine, and the jaw apparatus which he figures 

 is not so very different from mine. With Grube's description my specimens agreed 

 more closely, though I do not see the resemblance to L. cariboea which he mentions. 

 Identification of one species with another in rehance on the belief that where there is 

 lack of agreement it is because of errors in the original description is rather an unsatis- 

 factory performance, but it seems to be justified in this case. 



Schmarda's specimens were collected in the south of Jamaica. Grube's were from 

 St. Croix. I found it in July 1914, in soft coquina rock on the eastern shore of Logger- 

 head Key and in mud among water plants at the southern end of Tuckerstown Bay. 

 Bermuda, in 1916. The Yale University Museum has one specimen collected in Ber- 

 muda by Coe in 1903.
