 figs. 19, 27, 46, et seq. 



T\vo specimens of an Ectinosoma differing little from tlie 

 cliaracters of E. propinq^uum were obtained in a gathering 

 from West Point, Cape Elora, at a depth o£ 2 to 4 fathoms, 

 collected on 5tli July, 1897. This species is one of the larger of 

 the Ectinosomata, being not much less in size than Ectinosoma 

 Sarsi; it possesses a distinctly hooked labium, the fifth pair of 

 thoracic feet are of moderate size and resemble somewhat those 

 of E. Sarsi.

Ectinosoma MEiiANicEPS, BoecJc. 



1864. Ectinosoma melaniceps, Boeck (5), p. 30. 



The colour of the head in this species is, as the name implies, 

 distinctly diff'erent from the rest of the body, so that the species 

 may be distinguished by this character alone. E. melaniceps 

 occurred rather more frequently than others of the same genus. 

 It was dredged at about 50 yards off West Point, Cape Elora, 

 in 2 to 3 fathoms, June 18th, 1897 ; at West Bay, in 2 to 10 

 fathoms, July 2nd, 1897 ; and off East Grlacier, in 30 fathoms, 

 July 21st, 1897. It is also of frequent occurrence around the 

 shores of the British Islands.
