 anteriorextremity, but with the inferior extremity clongately acuminate 

 and somewhat granular or wariy. Tb.e general appearance of the ani- 

 mal, especially with the proboscis retracted, is that of a capsicum. 

 The proboscis is thick and cylindrical, and at the apex is crowned 

 with numerous short, fleshy-looking cirri, each slightly club-shaped

 numerous, very fine, flat granulations. The posterior extremity 

 becomes suddenly acuminated, and is of considerable length.
