The proboscis seems to approach that of P. grenlandica, 
having apparently (as the specimen is injured) 17 terminal 
papillee, and similar rows of these organs at the base. 
The exact relationships of the American Phyllodocide to 
the European forms have yet to be more rigidly determined. 
Further, more accurate figures of the bristles and other parts 
are required. I have been unable to follow the distinctive 
characters of such as P. catenula, Verrill, for instance, 
as certain parts have been omitted. It is possible that the 
present form comes close to the latter. 
Eiteone lentigera, Malmgren ? 
Habitat. Dredged at 30 fathoms in Gaspé Bay, St. 
Lawrence, Canada, 1873, by Mr. Whiteaves. 
Head bluntly conical, the transverse exceeding the antero- 
posterior diameter, and with a short tentacle on each side of 
the rounded snout. The second tentacle is shorter, and is 
only visible in lateral and ventral views. A median trian- 
gular region of the head is cut off by a line from the con- 
striction behind the dorsal tentacles to the centre of the 
posterior border of the head, a lateral area with a rounded 
external border being thus separated on each side. The 
tentacular cirri are short subulate organs, not more prominent 
than the feet. No eyes are present. 
Body, to judge from the fragment, approaching three 
inches in length, very slightly tapered anteriorly, and having 
the usual shape. A prominent papilla guards each side of 
the mouth posteriorly. When the body is viewed laterally the 
-setigerous process of the foot is anterior, the dorsal and ventral 
lamelles sloping backward, except in the anterior segments. 
The proboscis in extrusion is smooth at the base, clavate 
and rugose distally, while within the riag of smaller papillee 
at the tip a much larger papilla projects from each side 
anteriorly, simulating teeth. 
The rounded dorsal lamelle are nearly vertical in front, 
but posteriorly somewhat overlap. The dorsal lamella 
forms a rounded fan anteriorly, then the edge becomes more 
prominent and the symmetry of the fan less perfect. The 
pedicle is also longer. The setigerous lobe is somewhat short 
and massive, blunt and bifid at the tip. The shafts of the 
bristles are slender; the dilatation at the tip has a distinct 
shoulder, is obliquely striated, and presents two short stout 
terminal hooks or spines, which, when the blade is viewed in 
profile, are lateral in position and next the serrated edge 
of the blade. Secondary small spines are visible on the
