The present paper was originally published in the Proceedings of 

 the Washington Academy of Sciences, vol. iii, pp. i-iio, March 26, 

 1901. It is here reprinted from the same electrotype plates, so that 

 it may be quoted exactly as if it were the original. The original 

 pagination is the same as that of the present volume ; the original 

 numbers of the plates are also the same as in the present volume, so 

 that no change has been necessary. The running plate caption has 

 been changed from Proceedings of the Washington Academy of Sci- 

 ences, vol. Ill, to H. A. E., vol. XI. No other alterations of any 

 kind have been made, save the introduction of the illustration at the 

 top of the first page, in place of the running heading of the Academy's 

 Proceedings, and the change of the title, which was : Papers from 

 the Harrima7i Alaska Expeditio7i. xx. The Ncinerteans.
