who describes them as having densely fimbriated borders. The specimens from Hawaii agree with 
the latter character (fig. 18). 
Collected from station 4077, 99-106 fathoms, on fine coral sand and foraminifera, station 4098, 
under essentially similar conditions, and station 3972, 100-374 fathoms, on coarse sand and coral.

Harmothoe hirsuta Johnson, Preliminary Account of the Annelids of the Pacific Coast, Proc. Cal. Ac. Sci., 3d ser., vol. i, 
p. 182, pi. vi, figs. 27, 28, pi. vil, fig. 38, pi. vni, figs. 53, 53a, 53b, 53c. 
A single specimen lacking all head appendages and all dorsal cirri. I have identified it as this 
species from the character of the head (though the anterior eyes are larger than in Johnson’s figure 38), 
from the structure of a single elytron, which shows the characteristic branched tubercles, and from 
the setae, in which respect the specimen agrees perfectly with Johnson’s description. 
Collected at station 4312 in the vicinity of San Diego, Cal. 
Harmothoe tuberculata, new species. 
Owing to the incompleteness of the single specimen in this collection, I am unable ,to write a very 
complete description, and have given the above specific name only provisionally. 
All cirri, antennal elytra, and tentacles lost; 13 pairs of elytrophores, on somites 1, 2, 5, 7, etc. ; 
total length, 17 mm.; greatest breadth, 5 mm.; on median dorsal line a very prominent tubercle in 
each somite. Beyond the statement that antennae are inserted below the level of tentacle, nothing 
can be said about the character of the head. A single tentacular cirrus shows a subterminal swelling. 
Neuropodium and notopodium distinct in the parapodia. (Fig. 82.) Neuropodium rounded at 
apex, with anterior face covered with short finger-shaped branchiae. Most dorsally placed branchia 
four times as long as the others (b, fig. 82) . Neuropodial setae few, shaft broad, abruptly widening 
toward apex, narrowing again rapidly to gently curved tip. Shaft marked by very fine longitudinal 
striations. Running transversely across both faces of terminal enlargement are a number of rows of 
fine, tooth-like projections continued as far as base of terminal hook. 
The label reads: “Commensal in actinostome of JBrisinga.” 
Type no. 5205, U. S. National Museum, 16 mm. long, collected at station'41 77, on bottom of fine 
gray sand, in 451 fathoms.

Gattyana senta Moore. 
Gattyana senta Moore, Some new Polynoid®, with, a list of other Polychaeta from North Greenland waters, Proc. 
Phila. Acad. Nat. Sci., vol. liv, May, 1902. 
A single specimen from station 4551, in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, California. The specimen 
was incomplete, of only 25 somites, and measured 25 mm. The only point of difference between it 
and Moore’s description was that nephridial papillae begin on sixth instead of ninth somite. 
Genus IPHIONE Savigny. 
Iphione muricata (Savigny). 
Polynoe muricata Savigny, Systeme des Annelides, p. 21, pi. ii, fig. 1, 1809. 
Iphione muricata Grube, Annulata Semperiana, p. 21, 1818. 
Collected at eleven different stations— nos. 3847, 3848, 3850, 3873, 3876, 3935, 3962, 3968, 3987, 3999, 
4147. These had bottoms of coarse sand or gravel, broken shells or corals, and the depths were from 
14-79 fathoms. Station 3999 is recorded as 7-148 fathoms, with no indication as to the precise depth 
where these specimens were found. Apparently they do not ordinarily live below 50 fathoms.
