CEFHALODELLA EPITEDIA Myers, new species. 
Plate XXVII, figure 7. 
The body is fairly slender, laterally compressed and slightly 
gibbous dorsally. The head is long and convex anteriorly. The 
neck is somewhat indistinct. The abdomen increases gradually 
in width for about two thirds of its length; the posterior third is 
gently rounded. The integument is very flexible and the plates 
ill-deflned; the lateral clefts are very obscure, but apparently 
parallel-sided and rather narrow. The foot is conical and rather 
narrow at the base; the small tail is near the posterior end. The 
toes are short, straight and slender, nearly parallel-sided for about 
three fourths of their length and somewhat abruptly reduced to 
acute, slightly recurved, clawlike points; their length is less than 
one fifth of the total length. The foot glands are very small and 
pyriform. 
The corona is moderately oblique and strongly convex without 
projecting lips. 
The mastax is large and of the typical form; the fulcrum is 
slender and slightly expanded at the extreme posterior end, the 
manubria very slender, rodlike and not crutched. The gastric 
glands are small and rounded. 
The ganglion is very long and saccate; the retrocerebral organ 
is absent and the eyespot frontal and double, the two small pig¬ 
ment spheres fairly wide apart. 
Total length 135-140/>t; toes 24-26/x. 
Cephalodella epitedia is found among algae and detritus in 
brackish and saltwater ditches near Atlantic City, New Jersey. It 
resembles C. angusta and gracilis in general form, but differs in 
the shape of the toes and in never being found in fresh water, to 
which these two species appear to be confined.

Plate XXVI, figure 6. 
The body is elongate, slender, cylindric and very nearly parallel¬ 
sided. The head is large and slightly oblique anteriorly. The neck 
is not very strongly marked. The abdomen is cylindric for nearly 
its entire length, abruptly rounded at the extreme posterior end; 
the integument is thin and flexible and the plates indistinct; the 
lateral clefts are fairly wide anteriorly and the edges diverge very
