Annelida (JhjEtopoda of New Jersey. 107 



Antennae small, conical ; the upper, about equal in length to the width of the 

 apex ; the lower, a trifle longer. On the middle line of the head, just back of 

 the eyes there is a small papilla, which can be seen only with difficulty in living 

 forms, and can hardly be demonstrated in alcoholic specimens. 



Eyes small, circular, widely separated, situated at about the posterior fourth 

 of the head ; on young specimens, red ; on adults, black. 



Buccal segment nearly as long as the three following segments taken together. 



Tentacular cirri ; upper nearly as long as superior antennae, but more delicate ; 

 lower, three times as long as upper, and stouter, but still very delicate. 



Dorsal cirri pretty evenly rounded, quite small on the anterior segments 

 (fig. 14), growing larger behind (fig. 15). 



Ventral cirri, in front larger than the dorsal, lower margin strongly convex, 

 upper margin straight, apex acute ; further back they are larger than in front 

 but smaller than the dorsal cirri, their margins slightly convex, apex bluntly 

 rounded. . 



Anal cirri short, subulate. 



Setae (fig. 16) numerous, short, stem reaching but little beyond the feet; 

 appendix also short, rather wide at base, termination capillary, one edge minutely 

 denticulated. 



Body elongated, in front flattened, further back rounded above, flat below ; 

 tapering rapidly along the anterior third, gradually along the posterior third. 



Color white, or white with flake-white specks, sometimes with an intestinal 

 brown line showing through. 



Length of largest specimens, 45 mm ; width with feet, 1.5 mm . 



Bare ; low water to fifteen feet.
