A single individual was collected by the writer on a muddy bottom in Montego Bay, Jamaica, British West Indies, in July, 1921. The specimen is incomplete, lacking an unknown number of posterior somites; 64 somites with a length of 110 mm. remain. Some of these were cut away for study and are loose in the bottle with the type. At the point of greatest width, in the region of the 14th somite, the body diameter is 15 mm. when measured to the ends of the parapodia. Immediately behind somite 14, there is a slight diminution in width and this continues without change to the end of the fragment.
