Remarks. I have much hesitation in referring these forms to Ehlers' species. One of the specimens is complete and measures 83 mm. by 11 mm. for 150 chaetigers. This specimen is much larger than those seen by Ehlers. The general proportions of the body are similar to those described by Ehlers. The prostomium is very short and as if telescoped into the buccal segment. The two tentacular groups, each of 10 to 12 filaments, are on the ist chaetiger and apparently spread over a considerable area of the last achaetous segment (Fig. 60). According to Ehlers there is a single filament on the ist chaetiger and a group of filaments on the 2nd. Moreover, I can find no trace of hooks in my specimens. In Ehlers' specimens their occurrence seems to be very irregular, or they may be absent. The gills seem to be continued over the greater part of the body, and their insertion is just above the dorsal ramus. Genus Dodecaceria, Oersted Dodecaceria concharum, Oersted.
