t Ci i , lid with many spines, while the Peneids were represented by several forms got before. 
( )ne of them, 3 inches in length, had a long rostrum and ver}' long outer flagella ; 
mother had legs three times the length of its body and terminated by tufts of hairs. 
There was also a male specimen of Gnathophansia zoea, and a fragment of another 
Schizopod. Among the worms a long Nemertean was found, showing the mouth and 
lateral organs, but no orifice of the proboscis.”
