INTRODUCTION.

Some time ago the polychaetous annelid collections made by the
United States Bureau of Fisheries Steamer Albatross in the Philip-
pines were sent me for description. As a result of a preliminary
study the old species were identified and sent to the United States
National Museum some two years ago. Two new species were also
described, but since- pressure of other duties prevented my continuing
the work the remainder of the collection was turned over to my as-
sistant, Miss Ruth Hoagland, whose report follows this. A few
old species which I had overlooked are included in her report. These
two papers together, then, comprise the report on the polychaetous
annelids of this expedition.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES.

Family SYLLIDAE.
Genus AUTOLYTUS Grube.

AUTOLYTUS TRIANGULIFER Grube.

Autolytus trian.yulifer GRUBE, 1878, p. 132, pi. 7, fig. 8.

The polybostricous stage was collected in considerable numbers at
San Miguel Harbor, Ticao Island. Grube reported that his speci-
mens were incomplete. One specimen in this collection had in the
posterior region 31 somites similar in structure, though narrowing
very noticeably toward the posterior end. These somites are largely
covered by the prominent parapodia. Somites 32, 33, 34, 49, 50,
and 51 of the entire body have small parapodia and are covered dor-
sally with a brownish pigment, an expansion of the median pigment
spots occurring in the anterior somites. Behind somite 44 was a
colorless region containing about six somites with very small pjira-

poorly pre-crved to determine the precise number of somite- in-
volved.

CHLOEIA CEYLONICA Grube.

Chloeia ceylonica GKUBE, 1878, p. 10.

In this paper Grube refers to an earlier paper1 which was not ac-
cessible to me, but the comparison which he there draw- between
C. ceylonica and C. fiwva makes it certain that this i- hi- specie-.

species, was collected at Nasugbu, Luzon.

Family APHRODITIDAE.
Genus POLYNOE Savigny.

POLYNOE MIRABILIS Mclntosh.

TRF.ADWELL, 1906, p. 1149.

As stated in my original paper, Mclntosh's specimen was undoubt-
edly incomplete and had originally more somites than lie described.
These from the Philippines were approximately TO mm. long and 15
mm. broad at the broadest part, thus much larger than the Cfml-

lenger specimens. Xo elytra remained and the head in each was
badly preserved, so that it was impossible to be certain as to their
normal form. In all cases the head had been rolled over so that the
basal joint of the median antenna had been directly posteriorly.
Some of the few remaining cirri showed a violet color and the inner
surface of the proboscis is a dark color, as described by Mclntosh.

Collected from D5122, Malabrigo Light, East coast of Mindoro,
X. 46° W., 20.60 miles (13° 21' 30" X. ; 120° 30' 33" E.) 220 fathoms,

bottom.

POLYNOE OCELLATA Mclntosh.

Polynoe ocellata MC!NTOSH, 1885. p. 126, pi. 12, fig. 3 ; pi. 12«,

A few were found at D5382, Arena Point, Luzon, S. 55° W., 3.8
miles (13° 15' 20" N.; 122° 45' 30" E.), 128 fathoms, mud bottom,
in tubes which were apparently made by Phyllochaetopterus
clapercdii, though none of the animals were to be found, and they
may have been made by some other member of this family. Xone of
the Polynoes were well preserved, but enough remained to establish
their identity.

Genus APHRODITA Linnaeus. ' •

APHRODITA ECHIDNA Quatrefages.

Genus IPHIONE Kinberg.

IPHIONE CIMEX Quatrefages.

Iphione cimex QUATKEFAGES, 1865, p. 270.

Iphionella dm ex MC!XTOSH, 1885, p. 58, pi. 9, figs. 4-Q; pi: 18, fig. 3; pi. 8a,
figs. 7, 8.

Mclntosh proposed a new generic name for this form, but did
not define his generic characters. The specimen agreed with his
description except that he saw no antennae. No median antenna
was preserved, but there were two lateral antennae with rather long,
dark-colored basal portions nearly twice as long as the head, each
having a filamentous tip longer than the basal portion. On each
elytrophore, underneath the elytron, is a thin translucent plate like
a shadow of the elytron.

Mclntosh stated that the ventral setae are more prominent than
the dorsal ones. In this specimen the dense tuft of slender serrated
dorsal setae entirely obscures the stouter ventral one.

Genus MYSTA Malmgren.

MYSTA MACULATA, new species.

A single specimen, with a length of approximately 60 mm. Width
of head between tentacles, 0.5 mm.; width at somite 20, 1.5 mm.
There were about 146 somites
present, the posterior end having
been lost. Anteriorly the propor-
tion of length of somite to breadth
is as 1 to 8, and the dorsal cirri are
inconspicuous. Beginning with
approximately the fortieth somite
there is a gradual change in the
proportion of length to breadth,
and toward the posterior end this
proportion is about as 1 to 2. An-
teriorly the dorsal cirri are very
inconspicuous, and while they
overlap one another to a certain
extent they cover no part of the
somite surface. Posteriorly these
cirri become much more promi-
nent, but still do not overlap the
body. Each dorsal cirrus is
marked with a median dark spot,
rather faint anteriorly but very
prominent posteriorly. The gen-
eral body color (in alcohol) is a

light brown, marked on the FlGS- 1-4.— MYSTA MACULATA, I, HEAD X

a tendency to arrange themselves in a transverse row near the
anterior border of the somite. Ventrally the body has a broad
median dark band, spotted with white.

The prostomium (fig. 1) is, roughly speaking, lens-shaped, with
the long diameter transverse, this long diameter being about one-
fourth longer than the antero-posterior one. About one-quarter of

itfi length from either end the anterior border is excavated for the
attachment of a tentacle. The~e are shorter than the head, rather
thick, and taper rapidly to a sharp point. Two other tentacles are
attached to the ventral surface of the head and are not visible from
above. These are similar to the dorsal tentacles in form, but are
heavier. One pair of small eyes lies near the anterior border. Just
posterior to the right hand one of these is a dark spot which re-
sembles an eye, but is. I think, merely a surface marking. Two
tentacular cirri on either side are attached to the first somite. They
are much like the tentacles in form, but about twice as large. The
mouth is bounded anteriorly by the prostomium, while about one-
third of the posterior border is made up of an anterior prolongation
from somite 2.

The first parapodium is about two-thirds as long as the second, but
is similar to it in all other respects.

A well-developed parapodium (fig. 2 — an anterior view of the
fifteenth) shows the setigerous portion prolonged into bifid preset a 1
lip, behind which arises a row of about 25 compound setae with
elongated basal joints. The notocirrus is broadly rounded and car-
ried on a large cirrophore. The neurocirrus is bluntly conical in
outline, with its dorsal surface next the setigerous lobe rather deeply
excavated.

The compound seta (fig. 3) has the basal portion very slightly
curved, the convex side apparently with a narrow transparent edge,
which thickens abruptly at the apex. The apex has a sharp hook
at the end of the convex surface, with a much heavier curved hook
opposite it. This larger hook lies a little inside the line of the con-
cave margin, which is continued into a much smaller spine. Ap-
parently other smaller spines of uncertain arrangement are located
around the base of the large hook. The terminal portion is broad
at the base and tapers to a sharp point, the whole terminal portion
being about as long as the free part of the basal portion. Near its
base there are minute denticulations along its thinner edge. I was
unable to determine the extent of these denticulations. but think
that they do not go beyond the middle of the joint. With careful
focussing, fine lines, giving it a shagreen appearance, may be seen on
the surface of this terminal joint.

A later parapodium (fig. 4) shows a cirrophore larger than the
cirrus, and there is a black spot in the center of the cirrus. In the
preparation the whole cirrus was bent away from the observer so
that the cirrus was really larger than appears in the figure. The
setae in these parapodia are similar to those farther forward.

Collected at station D5146, Sulade Island, vicinity of Siasi, 24
fathoms, coral sand and shell bottom.

Family NEREIDAE.

The collection contained large numbers of heteronereis stages of
Nereis. Since during* this phase the bodily changes are such as to
obscure specific characters I have relied almost entirely in determin-
ing species on the characters of the jaws and paragnaths. These
determinations must therefore be regarded as provisional.

Genus NEREIS Linnaeus.

NEREIS MASOLOCENSIS Grube.

Nereis masolocensis GRUBE, 1878, p. 75, pi. 5, fig. 4.

The Albatross specimens corresponded exactly with these in re-
spect to tooth structure. Grube states that 22 anterior somites are
marked with a brown stripe on either side. In these not more than
17 or 18 were so marked. A prominent feature is a brown band
across the entire dorsal surface of the second setigerous somite.

Collected at Nasugbu Luzon.

NEREIS (PLATYNEREIS) INTEGER, new species.

An epitokous form, characterized by an enormous development of
the prostomium, so that the antennae are thrown to the ventral sur-
face, all that is visible from above being the enormous eyes and the
shovel-shaped prostomium (figs. 1 and 2).

Male. — The prostomium rounded, its margin entire, the portion
anterior to the eyes being very thin and translucent. In some indi-
viduals the palps may be seen through this translucent region. The
anterior eyes are the larger, and they are situated on the latero-
ventral portion of the head.

The dorsal tentacular cirrus (lost in the specimen figured) ex-
tended in other specimens to the eighth somite. The median cirri-
(fig. 1) are much shorter.

On the ventral surface (fig. 2) appear the flattened antennae,
which normally hang at right angles to the prostomium, but are

figured as if pressed against its lower -urfacr. The large anterior
Byee with their latero-ventrally directed lenses occupy a considerable
part of the ventral surface. Posterior and ventral to these are the
palp- with their two portions nearly equal in -i/.e. hanging down
so as to COTer the sides of the mouth. While in the ligiire they are
shown under slight pre--ure. their direction is only very slightly
changed by it.

The jaws have each a large terminal and live smaller lateral teeth.
I could discover no trace of paragraths.

The dorsal cirri of the first seven somite- are enlarge.!, increasing
succe— ively in size until the seventh is reached (fig. 3 of the

seventh). The notopodium
has two obtuse subequal
lobes, the acicula extending
into a short conical lobe
between them. The neuro-
podium has a dorsal coni-
cal lobe, into which the
acicula extends, and an
obtuse ventral lobe similar
to that of the notopodium.
Dorsal cirrus elongated,
its terminal portion bent
and slightly flattened as
shown, somewhat fore-
shortened, in the figure.

Setae of notopodium
with long " camerated "
shafts, the terminal joint
set into rather a deep
socket. The terminal joint
is long, slender, and very
sharp pointed, with nu-
merous very sharp teeth
along the greater part of
one edge. The teeth are

all drawn out into fine processes, which bend apically so that each
covers over several of those distal to it. In the ventral bundle are a
few similar to the dorsal and others having the terminal portion
short, narrow as compared with the basal joint, with one large tooth
at the apex and a row of very line teeth along one margin.

The para podia, from eighth to fourteenth inclusive, are unmodified,
though the general structure of neiiropndium. notopodium. ventral
cirri, and setae are essentially as in the -e\enth. The dorsal cirrus
is much shorter and tapers slowly to a blunt end.

The parapodial modifications begin on somite 15. In a modified
parapodium the neuropodium has a dorsal, and the notopodium a
ventral sagittal lobe, which overlap, the notopodial being anterior.
Dorsal to the slender dorsal cirrus is a broad rounded lobe with
ventral to it, a lanceolate one extending to nearly the end of the
cirrus. The ventral cirrus is much like the dorsal in form, but rela-
tively a little heavier. Ventrally it carries a plate shaped like that
of the dorsal but larger. Dorsally, attached to its base, this cirrus
carries a zigzag three-pronged outgrowth, while on. the ventral sur-
face of the neuropodium is another outgrowth very similar to this
but with four prongs. The setae are of the usual type with broad
terminal joint toothed along one edge.

Most individuals show traces of brown spots on the dorsal sur-
' face. When best developed these appear in the anterior unmodified
portion as prominent spots on the parapodia from the eighth to the
fifteenth. In the modified portion there is a median dorsal and two
lateral brown spots in each somite, with a double row of smaller
brown spots on the dorsal surface of each parapodium. Ventrally
these markings are most prominent in the modified region, where
the median row breaks up into a double row of smaller spots and the
parapodial row tend to coalesce into a single one.

In the collections were a number of females in the epitokous condi-
tion, but none which resembled the above-described males sufficiently
to justify one in identifying them as of this species.

Collected from Subic Bay; Santa Cruz Harbor, Marinduque; San
Miguel arbor, Ticao Island, a large number of individuals being
from the latter locality ; Port Matalvi, Luzon, and Romblon.
