404 W. C. M‘INTOSH ON THE ANNELIDA 
Blainville’s figure of Hwmolpe scolopendrina’ represents an elongated form with much 
smaller scales than the foregoing Lepidasthenia blainvillii ; and the dorsal division of the 
foot (in fig. 2a, op. cit.) has a tuft of short hairs, and a dorsal cirrus with a dilated 
extremity. The ventral bristles are in two tufts—an upper small and an inferior large 
group. ‘The scales proceed to the end of the body. ‘The feet are similar in shape and 
longer than those of the next species. His Eumolpe longissima’, from the shores of 
Genoa, is a form with a narrower and much longer body, with eighteen pairs of very 
small scales at the margins of the body, and with the tips of the tentacular cirri and 
tentacle enlarged at the extremity. The superior lobe of the foot has a tuft of fine 
bristles; and the dorsal cirri are enlarged near the tip. Though I would not trust much 
to figures alone in such a case, there are certain close resemblances and mutual relations 
between Blainville’s and the ‘Porcupine’ specimens. The feet in both are similarly 
pointed from below upward; the bristles of the latter species (E. longissima) are 
shorter than those of the former; and the relations of the dorsal cirri, the ventral 
cirri, and the size of the feet are the same. Blainville’s artist may have represented 
the forms with developing scales; and the bulbous condition of the dorsal cirri may 
likewise have been exaggerated. The Polynoé malleata, P. tuta, and P. vittata, Grube®, 
are species having elongated bodies with numerous scales, but they do not seem to ap- 
proach the foregoing forms. 
ACOETID®. 
PANTHALIS RSTEDI, Kinberg. In an example dredged in 477 fathoms outside the 
Strait of Gibraltar the second or strong series of bristles had a deep brownish or amber 
colour; and rows of spines occurred on the posterior edge of the bristle, where in the 
ordinary form none appear. 
EUPANTHALIS KINBERGI, n. s. Found by Dr. Carpenter at a depth of 92 fathoms on 
Adventure bank in 1870. 
The species is about 1} in. long, and somewhat resembles Hupompe, differing, however, 
from any example of the Acoétide described by Kinberg in having sessile eyes. The 
head is rounded, as in the Polynoide, with two large eyes furnished with “lenses” on 
the lateral prominences in front, and two smaller a little behind. There is no tentacle 
in the specimen ; but on each side of the median groove is a filiform or slightly subulate
