have a patch of paler brown at the anterior lobe and along 

 the posterior margin ; otherwise they are colourless and 

 transparent. 



M'Intosh states that the number of processes to the elytral 

 papillae are five or six ; I find that in the mid-body elytra 

 there may be as many as eight or nine in those papillae in the 

 middle of the series. 



Remarks. Haswell's T. microceras differs in a number of 

 features. 



Loc. South of St. Francis Island, South Australia, 35 

 fathoms. 



Distribution. Off East Moncceur Island, Bass Strait, 38

Genus SIGALION, Milne -Eduxirds. 

 SIG ALIGN, sp. incert. 



A fragment without head or tail, consisting of about 50 

 segments of a diameter of 1.5 mm. across the body and 3 mm. 

 over the parapodia. Its length it is difficult to estimate, as 

 it is much curved. I am unwilling to name the present 

 fragment, but it does not agree precisely with any hitherto 

 recorded. 



Loc. Forty miles south of Cape Wiles, South Australia, 

 100 fathoms."

A single specimen, imperfect posteriorly, was in an extra- 

 ordinary condition. It consists of the anterior end with 30 

 segments, but only the last five were visible, as the worm 

 was completely turned inside out, with the head forwards 

 and inwards. It was only on slitting open the mass of 

 apparent muscle, which I supposed to be the partly digested 

 body-wall, that I discovered the head and all its outgrowths 

 well preserved inside.
