the Philippines, but the branchial process is always simple, instead of being bifid or trifid. 
The same remarks apply in the case of Grnbe’s Glycera submiea} 
Glycera lamelliformis, n. sp. (PI. XLII. figs. 9, 10; PI. XXIIa. fig. 11). 
Habitat . — Dredged at Station 167a (Queen Charlotte Sound, Cook Strait, New 
Zealand), June 27, 1874; lat. 41° 4' S., long. 174° 19' E.; depth, 10 fathoms; surface 
temperature, 51°’5 ; sea-bottom, mud. 
A fragment of the anterior part of a somewhat large species, and measuring about 
70 mm. without the extruded proboscis, which is 30 mm. long. A smaller incomplete 
example is also present. 
The snout is characterised by its brevity, eight or nine rings only being visible. The 
proboscis is covered with very fine papillae, which have a conical form. Besides these 
uniform small papillae, larger ones are scattered amongst them all over the organ. A 
slight duskiness occurs on the snout and anterior region, and the entire body is marked 
by the usual minute folds and creases. A narrow median line runs along the dorsum, 
and a broader one occupies the middle of the ventral surface. 
The feet are characterised by having two long anterior and two shorter posterior 
processes. At the tenth foot the large dorsal cirrus is situated a little above the base of the 
organ. The upper anterior lobe is almost foliaceous in appearance, forming a large ovato- 
lanceolate organ, acutely pointed at the tip, which is also bent upward. The next process, 
only a little less prominent, has a similar shape, and the tip is bent downward. The two 
posterior processes of the foot also have a tendency to be lamelliform, but project much 
less than the foregoing. The ventral cirrus is broadly lanceolate. The foot increases in 
length toward the twentieth, but again becomes comparatively short and broad toward 
the thirtieth, the foliaceous condition of the lamellse, however, being well-marked. The 
posterior processes are further proportionally larger. Toward the fiftieth, the foot is still 
short and deep. A rounded process, moreover, appears between the dorsal cirrus and the 
base of the foot, but the precise nature of this (unless it be branchial) is doubtful. It 
increases in size toward the ninetieth, and continues throughout the specimen. In this 
region the anterior and posterior processes of the feet are more nearly equal in length, 
the anterior, however, being more distinctly foliaceous. At the posterior part of the 
fragment, again, the foot has a process inferiorly, just behind the lamelliform ventral 
cirrus, the base of the latter projecting beneath the margin of the foot. 
The dorsal bristles have no special features other than that the minute serratures on 
the anterior margin are very distinct. In some cases a splitting for a short distance 
(probably from wear) takes place along the anterior edge, so that the latter appears boldly
