Serpulea. 
Spirorbis spit'illum (Gould). In an account of the development of this species, 
Agassiz (Z. c. p. 318) shows some differences between his researches and those 
of Pagenstecher, important as bearing upon the mode of development of the 
tentacles. The nomadic life of Spirorbis would appear to last only from eight 
to ten hours. 
Kinberg (Z. c. p. 351) proposes some alterations in the terminology of this 
group (including Sabellea). His “ cirri tentaculares ”=the appendices sty- 
liformes ” of Milne-Edwards, the “ opercula ” of authors and the cirri buc- 
cales ” of Kroyer ; his lobus cephalicus ” is the upper middle part between 
the roots of the brancliiae ; and his segmentum buccale ” is the upper supe- 
rior part of the body witliin the collar. The first segment of the body is that 
bearing the collar.
