NEMERTIDZ. 
1. Bornasia Kurrzit, Girard. Body elongated, three or four inches long, 
subcylindrical, somewhat depressed, continuous from head to tail. Anterior 
region rounded, elliptical in a retracted state, conical when protruded. Color 
uniform brownish red, lighter beneath. 
From Charleston Harbor, east of Fort Johnson; found on muddy sandy flats 
on the third littoral region. 
Genus RENIERIA, Girard. Body elongated and subcylindrical. Head coni- 
cal and continuous with the body without any contraction of the neck. A 
longitudinal and lateral fissure on each side, as in Meckelias. Mouth nearly ter- 
minal, on the upper surface, as in Valencinias. Eyes specks wanting. 
2. Renieria ruprRA, Girard. Body subcylindrical,a little broader than deep, 
four or five inches long when in a live state. Head conical, subtriangular, 
tapering forwards, split or furrowed on the sides. Mouth narrow and elongated, 
approximating the tip of the snout. Color uniform brick red, paler beneath. 
Dredged on muddy sandy flats east of Fort Johnson, Charleston Harbor. 
Genus LEODES, Girard. Body elongated, depressed, posteriorly tapering. 
Head, separated from the body by a contracted neck, which is provided with a 
longitudinal fissure on either side. Mouth terminal. Eyes wanting. Habits 
not fossorial. 
This genus is closely allied to Meckelia, from which it however differs in the 
continaity of the head and body, and also in the shape of the mouth, to which 
may be added the mode of coloration as described below. 
3. Leopes strioLenta, Girard. Body when extended, six inches in length and 
two tenths of an inch in width; somewhat convex anteriorly, broader and flat- 
tened posteriorly. Head a little smaller than the body, somewhat elongated, 
bluntly pointed, tapering, and separated from the body by a broad or very shal- 
low constriction. Mouth slit, conspicuously long. Clefts on the sides of the 
neck very deep. Posterior extremity sharp and pointed. Body thickest ante- 
riorly, with a rounded margin, compressed posteriorly with a sharp margin. 
Color of the body above dark pink, with a narrow line of deeper pink near the 
margin on each side, and covered with crowded, narrow, dark grayish or black 
longitudinal lines, darkest anteriorly. Body margined for the posterior two 
thirds with light yellowish gray. Head light gray with longitudinal black 
blotches, fewest towards the margin. Beneath dark red, with anteriorly dark 
gray blotches, mostly towards the margin, and a white medial line; and pos- 
teriorly without dark spots and with a red medial line and yellowish margin. 
Tail pale, with very few small scattered spots. In the young the colors are 
all pale except at the head, so that the dark branching intestine, occupying the 
posterior three fifths of the animal, is easily seen. 
Found at Fort Johnson, under stones on hard clay, at low water. 
4, AMPHIPORUS SANGUINEUS, Girard. Body elongated, depressed, anteriorly 
broad, posteriorly tapering, sides parallel, undulating when the animal is in 
motion. Head continuous with the body, and pointed forwards. Mouth termi- 
nal, minute. Generative opening very much elongated, approximating the end 
of the snout. Anus not quite terminal. Color uniform blood red. 
From the fourth littoral region, near Fort Johnston, 8. C. 
5. Mecxetia Pocouonras, Girard. Body very much depressed, flattened with 
a sharp margin, attaining sometimes a length of three feet. When immersed in 
alcohol it contracts to nearly half of that length; the anterior third of the body 
then becomes subcircular, with blunt edges contrasting considerably with the 
remaining portion, which preserves its flattened shape and sharp edges.. The 
head is conical, tapering forwards and continuous with the body. Snout split 
vertically, dividing the upper and lower lip. ‘The vertical split, however, affect- 
ing only the tip of the snout, whilst the horizontal split extends to the whole 
length of the head. Generative aperture narrow and elongated, situated near
