56 AUSTRALASIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 
The parapods (fig. 54) are very short and rather high, the foliaceous dorsal 
cirrus is long and narrow ; its length is more than twice its width ; its apex is 
symmetrically pointed, its base is short and springs from the cluetigerous lobe close to 
the body. The ventral cirrus is comparatively large and of similar shape, longer than 
the cluetigerous lobe. 
The cluetse (figs. 55, 56) are comparatively few in number; the lip of the 
articular cup is finely serrated on one side, smooth on the other; and the two lips are 
approximately of equal height ; the appendix is long, narrow, straight, flexible and 
tapers gradually to a fine point ; its edge is finely serrated. 
The pharyngeal apparatus was everted in the larger of the two specimens, though 
the buccal membrane or pharyngeal sheath is ruptured at its base. The length of the 
pharynx is 15 nun., with a diameter of 3 mm. at its anterior end. The aperture is 
surrounded by 24 rather large papillae, set as usual at the ends of ridges leading into 
the interior. The buccal membrane is uniformly covered with closely-set unequal, 
flattened, club-shaped papillae, giving it a velvety appearance (fig. 57). They are 
much smaller than those of the preceding species. 
From a study of the other specimen it appears that the intestine commences at 
about the 34th segment, so that the buccal and pharyngeal regions together must be 
10 mm. in length. 
Locality .— 
Commonwealth Bay, Station 1, 350-400 fathoms. 
Remarks. —I suspected that this worm was E. magalhaensis , the only specimen of 
the genus hitherto recorded from these latitudes, but from it the present worm 
differs in the larger eyes, in the position of the median tentacle ; in the much 
greater length of the tentacular cirri ; in the form of the appendix, and 
in the character of the articular cup ; and in the number and shape of the 
pharyngeal papillse. 
Genus Eteone Savigny. 
Eteone reyi Grader. 
Gravier (1906), p. 26, pi. Ill, figs. 24-26; (1911), p. 60. 
Ehlers (1913), p. 457. 
A single individual of this small Phyllococid was found on a slide on which I 
had mounted some Syllids collected in Commonwealth Bay. 
It is but 5 mm. long, and consists of head, 26 chartigerous segments and the 
anal segment. 
I find that the prostomium differs from Gravier’s figure in that it is produced 
forwards as a narrower plate than the basal oculiferous region. This I take it is 
what Ehlers means when he says that his specimen has a “ spatelartig ” prostomium.
