This species is represented in the collection by only two indviduals, both about 
the same size. The one more carefully studied is imperfect posteriorly, containing 62 
segments, measuring 25 mm. in length, with a maximum diameter of 4 mm. some 
little distance behind the anterior end ; it gradually decreases both forwards to 2 mm. 
at the buccal segment, and backwards, so that the hinder end of the fragment is 1 mm. 
It appears, therefore, that only a few segments are missing.

Amongst some material, containing chiefly Syllids, which Dr. Haswell found 
in sorting out specimens from the Macquarie Island and winch he kindly forwarded 
to me, I find two individuals of this minute worm. 
* spissus —-crowded, close together; us of seats—here, has reference to the integumental papillae.
