neuropodial bundle are homogomph in form. This, at any rate, is constant in the 

 Falkland Islands specimens, as well as in those from the South Orkneys. 



N. kerguelensis has a wide distribution in the sub-antarctic regions, having 

 been recorded from Kerguelen, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, and the South 

 Shetlands and Graham Land, besides the Smith Orkneys. Recently VON MARENZELLER 

 (12, p. 15) has recorded specimens from the eastern Mediterranean, collected by the 

 Austrian oceanographic vessel Pola, and he mentions also some from the Azores in 

 the collections of the PRINCE OK MONACO. 



Nereis eugenise (Kbg.) Char, emend. Ehl. 

 Nereis eugenise Ehlers, (3), p. 67, pi. iv. figs. 94-105. 



Station 349. Two specimens, dredged in 15 fathoms, sandy bottom, off Tussock 

 Islands, Falkland Islands, December 2, 1903. 



These are both large specimens, and agree in all respects with EHLERS' full descrip- 

 tion and figures. 



This species has been recorded from the shores of various parts of the southern 

 extremity of South America, but not previously from the Falkland Islands. 



Nereis (Ceratonereis) mirabilis Kbg. 

 Nereis (Ceratonereis) mirabilis, Ehlers, (2), p. 117, pi. xxxvii. figs. 1-6. 



Station 81. One specimen, dredged in 36 fathoms, coral bottom, about 200 miles 

 off the coast of Brazil, 18 24' S., 37 58' W., December 20, 1902. 



It is a small example, incomplete posteriorly, and showing the characters typical 

 of the species. 



The type specimen of N. mirabilis was obtained off the Brazilian coast in 9 S. 

 latitude (9, p. 170). The species has subsequently been recorded from Florida 

 (2, p. 117), the Red Sea (7, p. 172), Porto Rico and Bermuda (13, p. 193), Amboina 

 (14, p. 33G), and the Persian Gulf (15, p. 392). 



Nereis pelagica Lin. (Plate, figs. 1,2.) 



Nereis pelagica M'Intosh (11), p. 267, and figs. 



Station 478. One example from the shore, Table Bay, South Africa, May 14, 1904. 

 Station 483. Two examples, trawled in 25 fathoms, sand and kelp, entrance to 



Saldauha Bay, South Africa, May 21, 1904. 



The three are all small specimens, the largest being 25 mm. long ; fortunately 

 the proboscis is in all cases everted, and this greatly facilitates examination. 



I can find no differences of importance between these and British specimens of 

 N. pelagica ; the general form of the body, the parapods, seta?, and the prostomiinn 

 and its appendages all agree, as does the armature of the proboscis, except that the
