Abstract

ABSTRACT The small Rhabdocœle described below was found by Mr. Goodrich at Naples, living on the body of the Polychæte worm Nephthys scolopendroides, Delle Chiaje. He sent a number of specimens preserved with Lang’s reagent to Dr. Gamble, who was good enough to hand them over to me for examination. I am indebted to Mr. Goodrich for a further series of specimens, some fixed with corrosive sublimate and acetic acid, others with Lang’s reagent; also for figs. 2, 6 a, b, drawn from life. I have, unfortunately, been unable to study living specimens ; hence my account, especially as regards the genital organs, is necessarily somewhat incomplete. The work was done in the Zoological Laboratory at Owens College.
