region, all bearing elongate hooks having five or six teeth in lateral view, and a distal and 

 two basal tendons. Bristles of the first pair peculiarly modified, with short spinous tips and 

 strong, smooth shafts, the rest having delicate shafts and finely tapered, long tips with 

 whorls of spikes directed distally. Purplish-brown pigment is present. 



Tail developed into a long tubular process with the anus at the tip. Aggregated 

 tubes composed of coarse fragments chiefly of shell-gravel and lined by secretion, or of 

 sand-grains neatly and firmly glued together. Masses occur on rocks, stones and shells 

 between and beyond tide-marks. Single tubes are found on shells, stones and other sites. 

 The tubes are closed behind.
