In this species, whicli I consider to be identical with the Eunice 

 macrocJiccta of Schmarda, the three kinds of setso, simple, pecti- 

 nate, and compound, are present. There is only one spine, whicli 

 is strong, straiglit, and club-shaped at the apex, and one uncinus, 

 which is strongly forcipate.

The specimen we possess is in such bad condition that I can 

 only refer it witli doubt to the species described by Quatrefages. 

 The falciform appendage of the compound seta; is slender and 

 destitute of teeth. There is only one spine, but two uncini, 

 which are smaller and lighter-coloured than the spine, curved and 

 forcipate at the apex. 



Sp. 10. Eunice fijiensis, Baird. 



Body slender, segments about ninety-eight in number. Branchiae 

 commence upon the seventh foot-bearing segment. The setae of 

 the feet are not numerous. The simple setao are rather broadly 

 lanceolate and very sharp-pointed. Pectinate setre appear to be 

 absent altogether. The compound setso have tiie falciform ap- 

 pendage bidentate at the apex. There are two spines or aciculse, 

 which are stout, swollen in the middle of their length, and slightly 

 curved at the point. Only one uncinus or booklet is present, 

 which is strongly and distinctly tridentate at the apex, and has 

 the shaft curved. It approaches somewhat to the Eunice gracilis 

 of Grube, from Tahiti.

 1| inch long. Head with two lobes. Buccal segment rather 

 narrow, not much broader than the following segment. Tentacle,
