104 Prof. Mcintosh's Notes from the 



the species douhtfully as having a small anal funnel, and 

 places it under the division of those with the plate of the 

 head-lobe small. Sars again thought his Clymene Millleri* 

 somewhat approached Glymene ebiensis, Aud. & Ed., but 

 such referred only to the cephalic lobe, since the Norwegian 

 form had an anal cup with from fifteen to twenty-three or 

 more cirri. De Quatrefages located the species under his 

 genus Leiocephalus^ which he instituted for those with a head 

 terminating in a papilla, and with no or hardly any cephalic 

 plate. The anterior region of the body is composed of three 

 elongate segments, the feet are biramous, the inferior division 

 indistinct. He characterizes the head as acute, protracted, 

 with the cephalic lobe almost absent. The first segment, 

 moreover, has no superior division. Kinberg f gave two 

 foreign genera ((77i?-?/so<7/e??i/s and Sahaco) with a comparatively 

 simple anal funnel, but there is nothing else in their structure 

 to associate them with the present species. 



Grube, in his remarks on the group \, pointed out that for 

 a proper classification of the JMaldanidge both ends of the body 

 are necessary, and therefore the precise position of Audouin 

 and Milne-Edwards's Clymene ehiensis is uncertain. He 

 would in the meantime decline to place G. ehiensis under the 

 genus Leiocej^hahis, De Quatrefages, and thought the species 

 perhaps identical with C. intermedia (which the examination of 

 a complete specimen shows that it is not). He mentioned 

 two species with smooth anal funnels, viz. C. urceolata^ 

 Leidy§, and C. leiojjygos^ Grube. The latter will be men- 

 tioned elsewhere; while the number of the segments, their 

 condition as regards bristles, and the large urceolate anal 

 funnel of the former leave doubts as to its identity with 

 C. ehiensis^ even after allowing the necessary margin for 

 imperfect description. 



Clymene ehiensis was next alluded to by the author ||, a 

 specimen, incomplete posteriorly and in its tube of coarse sand, 

 having been dredged by the late Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys in the 

 Outer Haaf, Skerries, Shetland (75-80 fathoms), in June 

 1867. " It is recognized by the pointed snout, the somewhat 

 swollen anterior segments, and the absence of the usual 

 frontal flattening. The shape of the hooks is peculiar, the 

 chief fang being short and somewhat flattened." It was also
