Remarks. Benham, with more material at his disposal, has supplemented Gravier's 

 account of this species. Gravier gives the number of achaetous ante-anal segments as 

 five and Benham as six. There are undoubtedly six glandular rings, as Benham describes, 

 but the hindmost lies up against the anal funnel and may form part of the anal segment. 

 Gravier writes of the anal funnel of his specimen: "L 'aspect rappelle de tres pres ce 

 qu'Arwidsson (1906, Taf. Ill, fig. 106) a figure pour le Leiochone borealis." The figure 

 to which Gravier refers represents the anal funnel of an Isocirrus planiceps and not of 

 a Leiochone borealis.

Remarks. There is little I can add to Ehlers' and Arwidsson's accounts of this species. 

 The largest complete specimen measures 100 mm. by 4 mm. There are 19 chaetigers. 

 The border of the cephalic plate is smooth. The buccal segment is achaetous and ventral 

 hooks are absent from the ist chaetiger. 



The exaniples are without colour and the glandular areas are not very clearly marked. 

 Both head and hinder ends are well figured by Arwidsson. This author states that there 

 are two to three hinder achaetous segments. This is not substantiated by my specimens, 

 which confirm Ehlers' statement that the anal segment alone is achaetous.
