are considerably longest. The sete commence opposite the mouth and 
extend to the posterior end; they form two fan-shaped fascicles on each 
side of each segment, closely approximate at their origin, but strongly 
divergent, the upper ones directed upward, the lower ones downward ; 
the sete are very long and slender on the middle segments, those of the 
upper fascicles longest, and exceeding half the diameter of the body; 
anteriorly they are considerably shorter; they are somewhat expanded 
toward the base, but have long and very slender tips. Dorsal cirri 
rather long and stout, transparent and wrinkled, blunt at tip, thickened 
at base; in length nearly equaling a third of the diameter of the’ body. 
Color yellowish white, tinged with brownish on the sides. 
Length, 8™™ to 10™™; diameter, 1.5™™, 
Savin Rock, at half-tide. Point Judith, Rhode Island, below low- 
water mark (Leidy). 
The specimen above described was found under stones at Savin 
Rock, near New Haven, May 5. Its body was completely filled, from 
one end to the other, with comparatively large yellowish white eggs, 
which show through the transparent integument of the dorsal side very 
distinctly.

from the upper surface by a deep groove. Head very acute. Eyes 
two, small, black. Proboscis small, sub-globular, smooth. Branchie 
long and slender. Caudal appendage spoon-shaped, deeply concave, 
transversely striated; the outer margin fringed with a row of small, 
slender papilla; a pair of slender cirriform processes, about half its 
length, arises at its ventral base, and a longer single median one is 
generally concealed in its cavity. Sete of the anterior segments long 
and slender, more than half the diameter of the body, shorter farther 
back. Color, when living, purplish flesh-color, shining and iridescent
