Xcrcis /nun/uri/acca, described in the c Annals/ vol. iii. p. 2[) 1. is also nearly allied to this species, and is, I suspect, the same as the Nereis podophylla of Savigny. It requires re-ex- amination ; and I would remark, that as these species are easily injured, and their appendages tear and fold up readily, several feet ought to be examined before fixing on their true shape and character. I had made several figures of the feet of N. renalis before the one now given, which, I believe, ex- hibits a correct outline of its ordinary conformation. 8. N. longissima, jaws obsoletely serrated at the base, plain towards the points; proboscis without prickles; upper branchial lobe with a helmet-shaped crest, the setiferous tubercle with large kidney-shaped lamellae, and a smaller one of the same figure is appended to the base of the ventral cirrus; superior cirrus rather longer than its lobe.
