114 ART. II. — A. IZUKA : 



ments number as many as 30 on each side ; then they remain 

 in nearly the same structure (fig. 3) throughout the greater part 

 of the body. Finally in a few posteriormost segments, the 

 branchiae are reduced to simple protuberances. 



Maxillae deep brownish black ; the forceps gently curved, being 

 3 times as long as their posterior processes ; the great dental 

 plates with 4 teeth on the left, and 5 on the right ; the left 

 unpaired plate with 5 teeth ; the paired lateral plates with 3 teeth 

 on the left and 7 on the right. Two accessory lateral pieces are 

 found on each side. The mandibles as long as the maxillary 

 forceps and their posterior appendages taken together, rod-like, 

 with white jaw-plates, the cutting edge of wliich is indistinctly 

 serrated. 



This annelid secretes a pale whitish mucous tube, in which 

 it lives. Once I have kept it alive for more than 4 weeks in 

 an aquarium at Misaki ; it has secreted, in the course of one 

 night, a pretty thick tube in which the body was entirely 

 concealed. 



Habitat : — West of Jögashima, Misaki (!) ; Okinosé in Sagami 

 Bay ; West coast of Bôshiu ; Ariaké-Ura in Prov. Hyuga.
