THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
that of the former, both having the small hypodermic areolae in the centre of the superior 
lamellae. There is in the present form, however, a greater convexity toward the ventral 
border, and the base is broader. The inferior lamella is somewhat larger and less pointed. 
At the thirtieth foot (PL XXXII. fig. 9) a more decided divergence occurs, for the 
superior lamella is larger, more distinctly bevelled at the tip, and projects farther out- 
ward from the pedicle, than in the j^revious species. The ventral lamellae are more acutely 
pointed than in the anterior region. There is no striking difference in the fiftieth and 
sixtieth feet, except the slight increase in the superior lamellae. At the ninetieth foot, 
again, the tip of the latter is more acute in the present form, and its outline is 
different. 
The terminal process of the bristles (PL XVa. fig. 1) is decidedly longer, and the 
spines on the tip of the shaft shorter than in Phyllodoce sanctce vincentis. The serrations 
along the edge of the terminal region are much more distinct. 
With the excej^tion of a little fine mud containing a few minute spicula, the 
intestinal canal harboured only Gregarinae, which were elongate-ovoid with a tapering 
tail.

Habitat. — Procured at Sea Point, near Cape Town, between tide-marks. Schmarda 
found his specimen under stones in Table Bay. 
Length about 45 mm., and breadth, including the bristles, 3 '5 mm. The specimen is 
incomplete posteriorly. 
This form is somewhat larger and softer than the ordinary examples of Eidalia viridis, 
0. F. Muller, to which at first sight it bears a close resemblance ; yet Schmarda does 
not contrast it therewith. His description and figures are in need of amendment. 
In the preparation the dorsum is brownish-green, and the lamellae olive-green. The 
eyes are somewhat larger than in Eidalia viridis, and there is externally a little dark 
jngment close to the base of the first tentacular cirrus on each side, but this has not the 
well-defined ajDpearance of the outer ocular speck in Eidcdia viridis, and corresponds to 
the pigment in the median line of the head posteriorly. The antennae and tentacular 
cirri arise in the same manner as in Eidalia viridis, only they are shorter, thicker, and 
softer. 
The dorsal lamellae of the feet are larger than in the common form. Thus at the 
tenth foot, instead of the elongated triangular outline of that in Eulalia viridis, with its
