Ventral view of anterior end. The tentacles have been pushed back to show the cephaHc lobe. b. Dorsal bristle, c. Hooks. The bristles begin on the 2nd segment and there are 13 notopods with cirriform processes. The uncini begin at the 14th chaetiger. The dorsal bristles (Fig. 81, b) are long and slender and very thinly bordered. Under a one-twelfth objective, they appear to have finely hirsute edges, which I hesitate to describe as a true denticulation. The abdominal hooks (Fig. 81, c) have above the main fang a single tooth surmounted by a row of about six denticles. The intestine is filled with sand. Remarks. This form is clearly separated from P. kergiielensis by the character of its dorsal bristles: it is nearer to Gravier's P. insignis, but differs from it in a number of.
