 Lficnillu} 



The (loi-sal setae are nearly smooth, l)ut faint serrations can be 

 observed along the convex border \\\t\\ a high magnification. The 

 greatest peculiarity in the parapodial armature is presented by tlie 

 v(Mitral setae, which have gaping bifid tips with a small accessory 

 tootli between the larger prongs. The number of paired alternating 

 spinous rows on tlie ventral setae is about twelve, the eighth row 

 occurring at the point of maximum dilatation. 



Several specimens were obtained off Cape Adare in 20 to 26 fathoms 

 at a temperature of 29'' Fahr. In the state of preservation in which 

 they arrived they proved to be excessively fragile, the cirri and elytra 

 breaking off with the greatest ease and even the intersegmental 

 junctions giving way.

Prof. Ehlers pointed out that the Antarctic representative of the 

 Madeiran PlujUodocc differs from the original type in the cliaracter 

 of its setae, the terminal spiuiform process of which is very much 

 longer than in the latter. 



On account of the serial distribution of papillae on the extruded 

 [)roboscis, this species should presumably be regarded as a Thyllodocc, 

 s. str., and not as an Anaitis." 



The i)roboscis has six lateral rows of papillae, ten to twelve in a 

 row, and a median dorsal series of seven. All the papillae are 

 cliaracterised by a patcli of chocolate-brown pigment on their posterior 

 faces only (PI. XLIL, fig. 5).
