POLY CELETO US ANNELIDS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

apodia (lost on one side in the specimen) with a small, transparent, globular dilation at the base 
(figs. 25 and 26). 
Parapodia very short as far as 6th somite, then elongated considerably, so that fully formed para- 
podium is almost as long as transverse diameter of the body. Dorsal and ventral lamellae very irregu- 
larly distributed, so that I infer they must have been lost on many somites, and I can give no details 
as to on which somites they first appear. Parapodium from middle of body with lanceolate dorsal 
and ventral lamellae, a cirrus extending from apex of setigerous portion, /. c. (fig. 27); each bears 
dorsally the brown segmental organ (d. s. o.), which is the only trace of color to be seen behind the 
Vanadis minuta , new species. (25) Dorsal view of head, X12.5; e., eye; s. 4, fourth somite; a. t., anterior tentacle; tf, 
median tentacle (?). (26) Ventral view of head, X12.5; c., cirrus of first somite; p. f., posterior tentacle; other letters as in 
figure 25. (27) Parapodium, x50; d. c. and v. c., dorsal and ventral cirri; d. s. o. and v. s. o., dorsal and ventral segmental 
organs; /. c., cirrus at end of parapodium. (28) Seta, x280. 
eyes; anteriorly this organ is not present as a swelling, its location being indicated by a transversely 
arranged band of brown pigment; setse longer than parapodium, compound, with terminal portion 
barely X V length of basal part (fig. 28). 
This species is represented in the collection by one specimen from station 3802, taken in tow net 
4 fathoms below surface, and one from 3797, under similar conditions. The latter was very badly 
preserved, but undoubtedly belongs to this species. The type (no. 5207 U. S. National Museum), 
from station 3802, measures 12.5 mm. to end of 14th setigerous somite. 
Vanadis fusca punctata new species. 
Body of medium size, head and first 22 somites together 13 mm. long. Head 2 mm. in diameter; 
1st somite behind head nearly same width. Body then narrows gradually to somite 6, which is § 
diameter of head. Later somites gradually widen to 2.5 mm. at somite 15 (measurements exclusive 
of parapodia) . Fragments from posterior part of body twice as wide as this, but these measurements 
possibly not reliable, as the body had the appearance of having swollen under the influence of rea- 
gents. Color anteriorly a very light brown (in preserving fluid). Posteriorly, color entirely lost, 
except for segmental glands on posterior dorsal surface of all parapodia. These are dark brown in 
color, and are very prominent. 
Head with large eyes, corneal surfaces directed outward and a little downward (fig. 29). The 
specimen from which figure 29 was drawn was turned a little to the left, so that right corneal area 
shows from above. A narrow bridge connects the two sides of the head. In front of this, on a slight 
elevation, is a single median tentacle. Two pairs of anterior tentacles (fig. 29 and fig. 30, dorsal pair 
only shown in fig. 29). Corneal surface of eye white, remainder dark brown. 
On ventral surface of head eyes separated by deep fissure (fig. 30). Buccal frill divided into a 
median and two lateral portions. Lateral portions each with a stout cirrus (fig. 30). Following 
somite with a small dorsal and larger ventral cirrus. Next somite with large dorsal and small ventral 
cirrus. No trace of proboscidean tentacle in the specimens. 
Proboscis 11 mm. long when extruded, widening gradually toward the end, with very abrupt 
widening at extreme end. On either side of this trumpet-shaped end, one edge is drawn out into a 
flattened, curved, horn-like process with end pointed and bent backward. Edge of opening between 
these processes thrown into irregular folds. Inner surface of proboscis longitudinally plicated.
