The only ditTer- cnces of importance Ix-tween them are in regard to the number of their cliaeli- ferous segments ~ 19 in inniina, 17 in ecics or only a variety would require consideration. In IIKW 1 had to consider a similar though simpler case in the species ,t. asKiinilis, which is rejiresenfed by a forma lyj.ira with twenty chaetiferous segments and thirteen i)airs of gills, tlie first on thc^ eighth segment, and by a form with nineteen segmepts and thirteen pairs of gills, the first on the seventh segment, but otherwise iticir characters are identical. Although these differ in this constant and striking manner, I decided that it would be better to regard the second form as a variety — var. ajlinix — rather than as a distinct sjM'cies. The ditference between .1. marina and .1. ()luci(dln is, however, a matter of two segments' and indicates a greater di\-ergence, allording more justification for sjM'cific distinction, and I suggest that as A.ylacialis has l)eeii described as a separate s|)ecies it may be retained as such; it is a convenient designation for those specimens of the genus with seventeen chaetiferous segments and eleven iniirs of small gills, which ui) to the present have been obtained only on the arctic shore of northwest .\nierica.
