PHYLLODOCIDAE 



73 



Remarks. This is an example of Benham's species from the Ross Sea. It has an 

 orange stripe down the middle of the back. The differences in the length of the dorsal 

 cirri of the three tentacular segments is not so great as Benham indicates. Otherwise 

 this specimen corresponds in detail to Benham's description and figures. I have only 

 one specimen, and I cannot without damaging it ascertain the tentacular formula.

 Annobon. 18-30 m. Gear DLH. Two specimens. 



Remarks. The head is rather long, equalling 

 in length the first six segments. The first tenta- 

 cular segment is incomplete dorsally, and the 

 longest tentacular cirrus, when laid along the 

 back, reaches to the 9th segment and not to the 

 14th, as in Ehlers' description. There are twelve 

 rows of papillae with nine in each row. 



At both ends of the body the dorsal cirri are 

 considerably narrower and more symmetrical 

 than they are in the middle of the body (Fig. 20) ; 

 also the anterior ventral cirri are shorter and less 

 pointed than they are in the rest of the body. 

 The colour is a pale yellow without markings, 

 but in one of the specimens the ventral surface 

 of the posterior two-thirds of the body is a dull green. The range from the West 

 Indies to Tristan da Cunha is a long one, but I cannot discover any differences of 

 specific value between these specimens and those described from the former locality.
