252 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 7 



greatly reduced dorsal micrognaths widely separated from one another. 

 The lateral chevron has 9 V-shaped pieces on a side. 



G. maculata heretofore has not been reported from the Pacific. G. 

 hrunnea Treadwell is recorded by Moore (1911, p. 306) from Monterey 

 Bay, from about the same depth as G. maculata. Both species have few to 

 no micrognaths in the dorsal arc. In G. maculata, however, the ventral 

 micrognaths number only 3, in G. brunnea they are said to be 9. 



Distribution. — Atlantic; off central California, in 36-37 fms. 



Goniada uncinigera Ehlers 



Goniada uncinigera Ehlers, 1901, pp. 159-161, pi. 21, figs. 1-8. 



Collections. — 903-38. 5 specimens. 



Length to 20 mm; number of segments over 100. One of the speci- 

 mens has the proboscis partly everted. It is covered with large, spinose 

 papillae in which the main spine is directed posteriorly (Ehlers, 1901, pi. 

 21, fig. 7). The V-shaped pieces include 16 on a side (13, according to 

 Ehlers) , those most proximal being the smallest. The micrognaths include 

 3 pieces ventrally and 9 dorsally. The prostomium has 7 annuli, the distal 

 ring slenderest but longest. 



Notopodia are first present from the thirty-eighth segment (Ehlers 

 reported it from the thirty-ninth). Notopodial setae taper distally to fine 

 points. 



In so far as I am aware, this is the first record of G. uncinigera since 

 it was first described, from southern Chile. 



Distribution. — Southern Chile, in 5-6 fms; Anaheim Slough, south- 

 ern California, intertidal. 



Goniada acicula, new species 

 Plate 44, Figs. 132-141 



Collections. — 8-33, 499-36, 549-36 (Holotype). 3 specimens. 



Length of 148 segments is 75 mm (posteriorly incomplete). Body 

 with 3 regions: (1) an anterior part of about 63 segments with unira- 

 mous, smaller parapodia, (2) a median region of about 28 segments, the 

 parapodia biramous but not noticeably larger than those in the anterior 

 region, and (3) a posterior region from about segment 93, in which the 

 parapodia are abruptly larger, the rami well separated and both well de- 

 veloped. 



The prostomium region consists of 10 annuli and a distal cone pro- 

 vided with 4 terminal, biarticulated antennae. These have a cylindrical
