Lkt, a small group of hermaphrodite worms whose affinities are doubtful and disputed, may be placed here. They are small, disc-shaped animals, parasitic on Comatula. They possess a soft and ciliated skin, four pairs of laterally placed suckers on the ventral surface, and a protrusible proboscis fur- nished with papillfB at their anterior end, also a branched alimentary canal which opens at the posterior end of the body. On the sides of the body are five pairs of short parapodia, of which each one bears a hook (with one to three supple- mentary hooks) as well as CI /¥'/' \ \W^ ^^_ ^ supporting setre. As a rule, double as many cirri or short wart-like protube- rances are found on the margin of the body. M. gJahrum, cirriferum F. S. Lkt. Sub-order 2.

The branchiae may be entirely absent and in many cases are confined to the two or three anterior segments following the head. In exceptional cases they are placed on the dorsal part of the middle of the body (Arenicolidcv). As a rule, however, they are represented by numerous filiform tentacles and ten- * E.
