barbless tip which is flattened and coiled like a watch spring.” One 
can still clearly distinguish just this condition on many of the 
radioles, but I believe the “free” condition of these radioles is due 
to breakage. Some of the radioles are still united by a palmate 
membrane, extending well over half the length of the radioles; 
beyond the united part, it is continued distally, the full length of 
the radioles, ribbonlike; the distal ends are barbless. 
The thorax consists of eight setigers. It is provided with long 
handled uncini (fig. 15, g), and spatulate setae (fig. 15, e) in addi- 
tion to superior pointed limbate. The abdomen is provided with 
narrowly limbate setae ventrally, and avicular uncini (fig. 15, /) 
dorsally. 
The thoracic collar is fairly high, straight, the peristomium con- 
cealed. There is a middorsal notch; ventrally the collar is entire 
except for a slight V-shaped notch. Laterally there is a weak un- 
dulation, but the collar is entire. 
This species was originally referred to Jasminiera because the 
radioles were thought to lack a palmate membrane; since, however, 
this is believed to have been present, it is transferred to Chone. (C. 
ecaudata differs from (@. mollis (Bush), also from California, in 
that the spatulate setae of the latter are without mucro and the 
abdominal uncini have a much longer beak.

Sabella picta VERRILL, 1885a, p. 440; 1885b, pl. 42, fig. 188 (U.S.N.M. No. 8706;

The type of Sabella picta is labeled “Off Newport, 20 fms. Fish 
Hawk. Sta. no. 784.” It is typical Chone Malmgren, with entire 
straight collar, that is rather high, slightly flaring, with a notch 
dorsally. The thorax includes eight setigers, provided dorsally with 
bilimbate setae, and spatulate setae and ventrally with long handled 
hooks. Abdominal uncini are avicular. 
This has been compared with specimens of (. mfundibuliformis 
from western Europe and is believed to be identical.
