The specimens referred to on page 324 as probably belonging to Cere-

Body elongated, moderately stout ; head not distinct from the body. 

 Color uniform bright brownish red.

Off Watch Hill, lihode Island, among rocks, in 4 to 6 fathoms. A

This was red with two dark red spots anteriorly. [No ocelli were 

 detected. 



XEMERTES, (?), species undetermined (&). 



Body slender, sub-terete ; head not distinct from body. Ocelli incon- 

 spicuous, apparently about three in a row on each side of front of head. 

 Color of head and body, above, brownish red, with a whitish ring around 

 the neck, which recedes in the middle, above.

Off Watch Hill, with the preceding. 



This is, perhaps, a species of Cosmocepliala.

. Body slender ; head not separated by a constriction. Ocelli very
