ment, in form (Fig. 9A) resembling the cerarian spines, variable in size, 

 those of the cephalic region noticeably more slender. Anal ring large, in 

 some examples bearing as many as 15 setae of various lengths, in others 

 but the normal 6 setae. Tubular ducts abundant, all small and without a 

 raised rim about the mouth. Antennae (Fig. 9C) noticeably short, 6-7- 

 segmented. Legs (Fig. 9D) short and stout, the claw without a tooth.

 from Hawaii ; B, types of spines from specimen from Lysiloma in Lower 

 California; C, antenna; D, leg. 



Notes : The above description and the accompanying figures are from 

 examples from Lysiloma. The Lower California examples differ somewhat from 

 specimens from Hawaii in having the spines stouter and more distinctly con- 

 stricted at the base (compare Figs. 9 A and 9B, the former from Hawaiian ex- 

 amples), but there appear to be no other special differences. The presence of 

 supplementary setae on the anal ring is unusual but seems to be extremely vari- 

 able.
