26 THE ANNELIDA POLYCHAETA. 



in his Familien der anneliden (Archiv. naturg., 16, p. 40) ; but as he gave no 

 diagnosis either for the genus or its type-species at that time, the genus must 

 date from 1855.

Locality. Panama: Taboguilla Island. 31 October, 1904. One specimen 

 taken on the shore. It is only about 10 mm. in length, or half that of the type, 

 and is evidently not in full color. The specimen is topotypical, Kinberg stating 

 of the type "Hab. oras insularum juxta Panama."

Locality. Society Islands: Papeete. 9 November, 1899. Two speci- 

 mens taken on the shore. 



These specimens, the larger of which is complete and 23 mm. in length, agree 

 fully with the original description. The type was also from the Society Islands, 

 having been taken on the coral reef at Eimeo. The somites are conspicuously 

 marked above by longitudinal stripes of brownish pink which extend part 

 way or entirely across each somite. The distal end of the notopodia is encircled 

 with dark. The setae are whitish. The setae agree in structure with Kinberg's 

 account. The head, tentacles, caruncle, and cirri have the characteristic 

 structure described by Treadwell for his H. pennata which seems without doubt 

 to be the same species.
