Three species, representing as many genera, of the polychaetous 

 family Maldanida? have been recorded from the Japanese waters by 

 MTntosh in the Challenger Report. They are as follows : 



Maldane sarsi Malmgren. 



Nicomache japonica MTntosh. 



Praxilla {Glymene) laiikesteri MTntosh. 

 The list may be augmented by two more forms, both apparently 

 yet undescribed. I propose to call these Maldane gotoi and Glymene 

 harai, in dedication respectively to Professors S. Goto and J. Hara, by 

 whom the type specimens were collected and kindly given to me for 

 study. 



Both the new forms are from Yodomi in the Sagami Bay and a 

 depth of 80 fathoms. The descriptions follow. 



Jffaldaite f/otoi. N. sp. 



PI. Ill, figs. 1—8. 



This is founded on two specimens. The larger one me asures 42 U) „i 

 in length and 1.8 m . m. in breadth. The other is 34 m . in. long and 1.5 m. m. 

 broad. 



The worm, as preserved in spirit, is of an yellow ochre color with 

 light bluish iridescence, except in a înw anteriormost segments which 

 present a brownish yellow hue. 



In both specimens the cylindrical body is composed of 2] segments
