[None. From introduction:]
The following description is of the heteronereis phase of a new species of
Nereis sent me for identification by the United States National Museum. The specimens were collected by the well-known Uruguayan naturalist, Dr. F. Felippone, of Montevideo, in the course of an expedition to the eastern coast of the Republic, off Punta del Este, Maldonado. He says : "The animal was not known to the sailors. I captured it by placing an electric light (100 candlepower) 40 centimeters below the surface of the ocean. Within five minutes thousands of animals appeared on the water moving rapidly about." Since paragnaths are found on all eight of the proboscis areas, the species belongs in the subgenus
Neanthes. The collection contained only one male and a considerable number of females.
