SCOLECOLEPIS Blv. 1828 (teste Malmgren). 

 Scolecolepis viridis Yerrill. 

 Invert. Animals of Vineyard Sound, etc., p. 600. 1874. 



Our specimens do not agree in all respects with Verrill's description, and at 

 first it seemed necessary to refer them to a new species ; comparison with speci- 

 mens received from him has established their identity. Verrill ascribes four 

 eyes to /S. viridis; our specimens have no eyes, as they were examined in this 

 respect in the fresh state ; the alcoholic specimens received from Prof. Verrill 

 have no trace of eyes remaining, whatever their condition may have been while 

 living. We found but one green specimen ; the others were dark brown, or 

 dark brown with a reddish or greenish tinge. There are from eight to ten anal 

 papillae (cirri), subulate, three to four times as long as the anal segment. 



On one specimen the head and a few of the anterior segments had been lost 

 and renewed, but the branchiae were still wanting. 

 , Common in sand at low water. 



iScolecolepis tenuis Verrill. 



Invert. Animals of Vineyard Sound, etc., p. 601. 1874. 



Reported by Verrill from Great Egg Harbor, in sand at low water. We 

 failed to find it.
