At Wellfleet we found Amphitrite ornata Verrill quite common in 

 coarse gravel and mud. As usual, L. commensalis occurred in the tubes 

 of this species, but sparingly. Most of the specimens taken were young, 

 from one-half inch to one inch in length. In these the stout, single- 

 pointed setsB of the upper bundle, lower ramus, had not yet appeared ; 

 the attachments of the elytra were very jirominent; otherwise they did 

 not differ from the adult form.
