what conical. The ventral cirrus is broadly fusiform at the 
base, and slender distally.” 
Hteone japanensis, sp. n. 
Habitat. Dredged in the Japan Sea by Capt. St. John in 
1874 and sent by Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys. 
It is a comparatively small species, apparently about an 
inch in length. The head forms a proportionally broad 
spathulate and truncate region, with two well-marked eyes 
situated towards the posterior region. The tentacles are of 
average size and subulate. The tentacular cirri are also 
subulate, but tapered to a fine point, and scarcely reach the 
diameter of the narrow body. ‘The latter is linear elongate, 
very slightly tapered anteriorly, but more distinctly diminished 
posteriorly, where it terminates in two ovoid styles or cirri. 
The feet (Pl. I. fig. 2) lean to the type of Hteone arctica, 
Malmeren, but differ in the more elongated or broadly 
lanceolate dorsal lamelle, which likewise have a longer 
pedicle. This difference is especially marked posteriorly. 
The setigerous process is somewhat pointed and bears a series 
(few in number) of slightly curved bristles that are stouter 
than those of Hteone arctica. ‘The shortness of the dilated 
region at the end of the shaft and the shorter curved hooks 
at the tip on each side of the terminal blade are character- 
istic. ‘The terminal blade is very finely tapered, and the 
edges so minutely denticulated that the teeth are invisible in 
ordinary views. ‘The ventral lamella stands freely outward 
as a broadly lanceolate process, but its tip does not project 
beyond that of the setigerous division.

LL.D.—Nephthydide, Phyllodocide, and Hesionide. 
No new species was met with in the groups under 
consideration, but Nephthys hystricis, M‘I., var., was found 
to be common off Lervig, in Lervig Bay. In this variety 
the body is less firm than in Nephthys ciliata, O. F. M., 
with which species it agrees in the size of the papille of the 
proboscis, but the latter is smooth inferiorly (in extrusion) 
instead of being papillose. ‘The anterior free flap of the 
foot is very small, and in some appears to be absent. The 
other forms were Nephthys pansa, Khlers, N. cirrosa, Ehlers, 
N. scolopendroides, D. Ch. (young), N. ciliata, O. F. M. (the 
most abundant species), and a young example of N. ceca, 
Fabr.
