Family NEPHTHYDIML 
Genus NEPHTHYS Cuvier. 
Nephthys sp. 
A single fragment of the anterior end of a very small specimen, 1.5 mm. broad in widest part, and 
of which the first 15 somites measured 3.5 mm., was collected at station 4442, at Harris Point, San 
Miguel Island, California. It was too much injured for identification. 
Family AMPHINOMIO®. 
Genus NOTOPYGOS Grube. 
Notopygos megalops McIntosh. 
Notopygos megalops McIntosh, Report Challenger Expedition, vol. xii, p. 18, pi. i, fig. 1, pi. n A, figs. 3 and 4. 
A single specimen, 8 mm. long and 4 mm. broad, with 18 somites. The anus opens on the dorsal 
surface of somite 16. Station 3848, 44-73 fathoms, on a sandy bottom. 
Notopygos labiatus McIntosh. 
Notopygos labiatus McIntosh, Report Challenger Expedition, vol. xii, p. 19, pi. ii, fig. 6, pi. iv, fig. 2, pi. ii A, figs. 5, 6. 
The anus opens dorsally on somite 22. 
Collected from station “3851, surface.” It seems very probable that there was some mistake in 
labelling, as Notopygos is not a surface form. 
Genus EURYTHOE Kinberg. 
Eurythoe pacifica Kinberg. 
Eurythoe pacifica Kinberg, Ofvers. of K. Vet, Akad. Forh., 1857, p. 14. McIntosh, Report Challenger Expedition, vol. 
XII, p. 27, pi. II, figs. 3, 4, pi. Ill, fig. 3, pi. II A, fig. 13, pi. Ill A, figs: 5-9. 
Two imperfect specimens from station 4031, 27-28 fathoms, on a bottom of fine coral sand, and 
two, in a better state of preservation, from Honolulu Reef. 
Genus CHLOEIA Savigny. 
Chloeia flava Pallas. 
Chloeia flava McIntosh, Report of Challenger Expedition, vol. xii, p. 8, pi. m, figs. 1, 3, pi. i A, figs. 7 and 9. 
I have identified this species from McIntosh’s description, these specimens differing from his 
mainly in coloration. They showed no fan-shaped patch of pigment near the dorsal cirrus, and 
instead of a row of “brownish purple” dots in each metamere, there are two continuous brown lines 
extending along the dorsal surface, one on either side the median plane. Some dorsal setae are very 
long, slender, with a lateral spur, but with no teeth on the terminal portion. They are colored yellow 
as far as the lateral spur, but are colorless beyond this. Ventrally are similar, but stouter, colorless 
setae. 
Collected at stations 3846, 3847, 3848, 3874, and 3876, at depths varying from 21 to 60 fathoms, on 
sandy or gravelly bottom. 
Genus EUPHROSYNE Savigny. 
Euphrosyne heterobranchia Johnson. 
Euphrosyne heterobranchia Johnson, Polychseta of Puget Sound Region, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. 29, no. 18, 
p. 402, pi. 6, figs. 60-66 a-c. 
A single specimen, differing from Johnson’s description only in the possession of 9 branchiae on 
a side. 
Collected at station 4551, in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, Cal.
