NO. 1 HARTMAN : POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS 53 



The elytra are conspicuously covered with furcated spines, that in- 

 crease in size from anterior to posterior margins. The smallest spines 

 are knob-like to minutely bifurcated (pi. 10, fig. 133), the largest 

 multipronged (pi. 10, fig. 132). There are a few long, marginal cilia 

 along the ectal margin. 



Notopodial setae range from shorter, slightly arcuate, dorsalmost 

 (pi. 10, fig. 130) to long, straight, tapering setae (pi. 10, fig. 131). 

 Neuropodial setae are slightly falcate, with entire tip, the length of the 

 serrated region decreasing from superiormost (pi. 10, fig. 128) to in- 

 feriormost (pi. 10, fig. 129). 



Distribution. — Alaska, south to California (dredged). Moore's 

 original record. North Greenland (1902, p. 263), was later corrected 

 to read Icy Cape, Alaska (1905, p. 525). The specimens mentioned 

 above came from near Anacapa Island, off central California, in 45 fms. 



PEunoe barbata Moore 



Eunoe barbata Moore, 1910, pp. 334-338, pi. 28, figs. 1-6; Treadwell, 

 1914, p. 183. 



Collection. — 885-38. One specimen. 



A single specimen, about 18 mm long, resembles E. barbata Moore 

 in some respects, but the notopodial setae are more pointed, and the 

 smooth distal end proportionately longer; also, the elytra lack the large, 

 heavily prickled spines. The body is pale cream color, with a segmentally 

 arranged, dark pattern, consisting of a pair of larger patches over the 

 middle of the segment, a similar and smaller pair just posterior to the 

 larger patches and nearly proximal to them, and a pair of more widely 

 separated triangular spots just anterior to the segmental groove. The 

 dorsal cirrostyles are dark, the nuchal prolongation dusky. 



The few elytra remaining are, on the whole, less spiny than Moore 

 has indicated, and the larger prickly tubercles are few, only 1 or 2 on an 

 elytrum; the finer tuberculation is, however, as figured by Moore (1910, 

 pi. 28, figs. 4-6). 



Distribution. — Puget Sound ; Monterey Bay, California. In depths 

 of 45 and 861-1062 fms. The notes above are based on a specimen 

 from San Luis Obispo Bay, California, in 40 fms.
