5. Glyceka goesi, Malmgren, 1867. Plate LXV, fig. 2— head; Plate LXXVI, figs. 

 4-4 6— feet; Plate LXXXV, figs. 6 and 6 a— bristles. 



Specific Characters. 1 — Head a short cone of eight or nine segments with the nsual 

 terminal tentacles. Body about 5 or 6 ins. in length or more, and segments two-ringed. 

 The surface is firm and somewhat tessellated at the sides, and the anterior end appears to 

 be less tapered. Brauchise begin on the thirty-second foot and continue nearly to the 

 posterior end (incomplete). Proboscis massive, clavate, brownish. The lateral spur of 

 each tooth is of moderate length and has a triangular anterior crest or process. Papillas 

 conical with interspersed globular ones. Typical foot of considerable depth, with the 

 dorsal cirrus at the base of the foot. Branchia simple, on the anterior surface of the foot 

 and directed forward and slightly upward. It appears about the thirty-second foot and 

 continues to the posterior region of the body. Two long lobes occur anteriorly at the tip 

 of the foot, and two shorter flattened lobes — the lower by-and-by being the shorter— 

 occur posteriorly, and a short ventral cirrus with an oblique and rather blunt tip.
