ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS 



VOL. 



A specimen from Mission Bay, California, is 43 mm long for 112 seg- 

 ments ; a posterior end is lacking. The color is pale reddish brown, with 

 a broad, darker band crossing each segment dorsally and ventrally. The 

 parapodial lobes are similarly pigmented, the segmental grooves pale, No- 

 topodia are present from the thirtieth segment. 



Collections from 890-38 and 893-38 include each, a single individual, 

 with 25 mm for 120 segments, or less. In the former the prostomium has 

 9 annulations, as described for G. pacifica Monro (1928, p. 83). Each 

 has notopodia from the thirtieth segment. Collection 913-39 includes an 

 individual 31 mm long with 77 anterior segments. The prostomium is ob- 

 scurely 8 or 9 ringed, on which 2 pairs of eyes are distingmshable. Noto- 

 podia are present from the thirtieth segment. Collection 909-39 has a 

 single pale specimen, 28 mm long for 97 segments, a short posterior piece 

 lacking. The prostomium is somewhat macerated, but has annulations on 

 its proximal half. Prostomial eyes are clearly visible. Notopodia are pres- 

 ent from the thirtieth segment. Collection 173-34 has an individual 13 

 mm long for 98 segments. The prostomium has 9 annulations and 2 pairs 

 of eyes. Notopodia are present from the thirtieth segment. A tabulation 

 of some of these characteristics follows. 



Glycinde armigera Moore (1911, p. 307) is nearly related, if not 

 identical with G. multidens. The conspicuous obcordate condition of the 

 presetal lobes, described by Moore, is more or less obviously present in in- 

 dividuals in the collections mentioned above. In other respects, it agrees 

 reasonably with G. ?nultidens. Monro (1936, p. 144) has indicated the 

 possibility of the identity of G. pacifica with G. rnultidens. In the former, 

 however, the notopodia are first present from parapodia 20 to 25. Gly- 

 cinde picta Berkeley (1927, p. 412) from western Canada is a nearly re-
