: DESCRIPTION OF GENERA AND SPECIES. 
Family EuPHEOSYisrrD^. 
The Euphrosynidse, as the first group of his Amphinomea, have been so clearly 
indicated by Ehlers/ that at present they stand in no need of further notice. Their short 
ovoid form — hirsute with the characteristic bristles, rows of dorsal branchise, and the 
carunculated head— is diagnostic. 
The Challenger was fortunate in procuring two species, for as their haunts are often 
littoral, they would thus seldom come under observation. A single species was found by 
Kinberg and Schmarda, since the Euphrosyne polyhi'anchia of the latter is undoubtedly 
synonmous (as Ehlers states) with Kinberg’s Eivphrosyne capensis. Grube gives 
none in his Annulata (Erstediana, nor in the account of the Annelids of the German 
exploring ship “ Gazelle,” and only one (Euphrosyne aurifei'a) in Semper s fine series from 
the Philippines. In the “ Novara ” collection he found the same species as Kinberg and 
Schmarda. One form also is noted by Marenzeller^ from southern Japan.

Body rather more than usually elongate, somewhat fusiform, and of a reddish-orange 
colour. The caruncle, consisting of an elevated keel and a flat band, reaches to the eighth 
segment, and a short and somewhat stout conical tentacle exists in front of the ridge, with 
a well-marked eye at each side of the latter anteriorly. A pair of much more minute and 
in some nearly confluent eyes occurs on the ventral surface of the narrow cephalic ridge. 
The arborescent branchise are purplish, with the elliptical or sub-oval tips pale reddish, and 
each complete row generally consists of eleven trunks. The bifid dorsal bristles are of
