tinies the entire dorsal surface of the 7th segment is of a 

 yellowish purple colour. Median yellow spots are found from 

 the 5th segment, or the ord parapodiated segment, to nearly the 

 posterior end of the body ; lateral yellow spots seen in about the 

 anterior J of the body beginning from the 7th segment. 



Prostomium small, bilobed, with 5 tentacles, of which the 

 median is the longest and reaches to the 4th segment ; the inner 

 laterals reach to the ord segment, and the outer laterals to the 2nd. 

 All the tentacles are faintly annulated. Each of the palpi consists 

 of a small median and a large lateral part. Eyes 2, placed at 

 base of the outer lateral tentacles. 



The first segment large, longer than broad ; the second dorsally 

 separated by an indistinct transverse groove from the first, very 

 short, provided with 2 small tentacular cirri, which are about 

 equal in length to that of the 2 succeeding segments taken 

 together. 



Parapodium as long as high, with a short posterior and a 

 long anterior lobe more rounded than the posterior. Dorsal cirrus 

 long, slightly amiulated, extending far beyond tip of parapodium ; 

 ventral cirrus bluntly conical, Avith large basal enlargement, 

 reaching nearly to tip of tlie parapodium. The simple bristle 

 (fig. 2) long and slendei-, with a very narrow wing at its basal 

 parts only ; the pectinate bristle (iig. 3) with 9 similar teeth ; 

 the compound bristle (fig. 4) stout and its shaft very slightly 

 curved near tip, tlie end-piece with a large, nearly triangular 

 tooth and a small, very sharp tooth below the fang, besides G 

 small teeth between the terminal fang and the larger tooth. 

 The posterior liook (fig. 5) 2 -toothed, provided with a short guard. 



Branchiae begin to occur on the 7th segment, each with 

 4 branchial filaments ; on the 8th, the filaments suddenly increase
