REPORT ON THE ANNELIDA. 
157 
The ventral division bears a tuft of long paj^illse at the base of the upper bristles, and 
a single one near the inferior edge of the anterior border. None occur on the ventral 
margin. The ventral cirrus exhibits a process on the distal side of its base, with an 
enlargement beyond it, and the tip is jointed. The ventral bristles are translucent but 
somewhat stout, the stronger forms occurring superiorly, and only a few at the ventral 
border having slender shafts and longer tips. The tips of the upper series are compara- 
tively short, and there is a peculiarly wide wing-like margin on each side of the central 
canaliculated region. 
Compared with the anterior foot of the Leanira from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the 
dorsal fascicle of bristles is much shorter, and the papillse at their base more numerous. 
The ventral bristles have somewhat shorter and stouter shafts and shorter tips, and the 
papillae of the setigerous lobe are much longer. The ventral cirrus is shorter, less 
tapered, and has a process at its base, and generally an enlargement about its middle. 
In this species the cuticle corresponds with that in Leanira hystricis, being thickened 
ventrally, especially in the middle line, and comparatively dense all over. The form of 
the dorsal longitudinal muscles also agrees with the species mentioned. The ventral 
longitudinal muscles, on the other hand, are small and ovoid, tiie external superior fold 
passing more than half way inward. The nerve-area seems to be proportionally deeper 
than in Leanira hystricis. and the hypoderm externally more distinctly differentiated. 
A neural canal exists on the inner (and inferior) side of each nerve. Externally, under 
the insertion of the oblique muscles, is an opaque region, which varies in appearance 
according to the line of section, just as the insertions of the oblique muscles appear to do. 
The proboscis corresponds in structure with the species above noted. 
EupJioloe, MTntosh. 
Body elongated, somewhat truncated in front, and tapered posteriorly, the former end 
being covered with coarse, and the latter with fine, sand-grains. Elytra small, confined 
to the lateral regions, and furnished with peculiar processes, which, like the other parts of 
the scales, are covered with long cilia. A rudimentary branchia (?) on each foot. Dorsal 
bristles slender, with long spinous rows ; ventral with a single, short, terminal process, 
beneath the hook of which is a minute spine.
