134 ANNELIDES. 



Chloeia, Sav., 



Where the head is furnished with five tentacula, and the branchiae 

 resembles a tripinnate leaf. 



The Indian Ocean produces one of them, the Amph'mome che- 

 vellue, Brug. ; Terebella flava, Gm. ; Pall., Miscell. VIII, 7— 

 11, very remarkable for its long bundles of lemon-coloured setae, 

 and the beautiful purple plumes of its branchiae. Its form is 

 broad and depressed, and it has a vertical crest on the snout. 

 And into the 



Pjleione, Sav. — Amphinome, B/ainv., 



Where, Avith the same tentacula, the branchiae are tufted. The 

 Pleiones are also from the Indian Ocean, and some of them are very 

 large*. To these he adds tlie 



EuPHROsiNE, Sav.\ 



Where the head has but a .single tentaculum, and the tree-like 

 branchiae are very complex and greatly developed. To this sub- 

 genus, Messrs. Audouin and Edwards approximate the 



HiPPOXOE, 



Which has no caruncle, and but a single bundle of setae, and a 

 single cirrus to each foot. 



Hip. Gaudichaudii, Ann. des Sc. Nat. t. XVIII, pi. vi. A 

 species from Port Jackson. In the 



Eunice, Cuv.t 

 The branchiae are also plumose, but the proboscis is well armed with 

 three pair of differently formed horny jaws ; each foot is furnislied 

 with two cirri and a bundle of setae, there are five tentacula above 

 the mouth and two on the nape. In some species only, we find 

 two small eyes. 



Eu7i. (jigantea, Cuv. The largest of the known Annelides, 

 being upwards of four feet in length. From the sea of the An- 

 tilles. 



Several smaller species are found on the coast of France §.

N.B. The genus Aristenia, Sav., Eg., Annel., pi. ii, f. 4, should also come 

 near the AmphiDomes ; but it is only established on a mutilated specimen. 



+ Eunice, the name of a Nereis in ApoUodorus. M. Savigny makes it the name 

 of a family, and calls the genus Leodice. M. de Blainville has changed these names, 

 first to Branchionercis, and then to Nereidon.
