Found between tide-marks at St. James, False Bay, 2nd Sep- 

 tember, 1902. 



This form extends from Europe to the shores of America, 

 and again to those of South Africa. 



The specimen is hunger than the finest example from St. 

 Andrews, or Lochmaddy, representing the eastern and western 

 shores of Britain. This free growth affected the size of the 

 lamellae and the foot generally — without altering the characters 

 of the parts or the bristles. It is chieflv a dweller in sand.

It occurred amongst the debris of other forms from St. James', 

 False Bay, 8th July, 1902. 



The example was minute, about 4 mm. in length, yet it had 

 all the specific characteristics of head, eyes, and cirri. The 

 compound bristles, also, were essentially the same as those from 

 Britain and other European localities. 



The range of this form is, therefore, very wide — stretching 

 from the shores of Norway, where the distinguished author of the 

 "Zoologia Danica " found it budding, to those of Madeira and 

 South Africa on the one hand, and from the Channel to the 

 American coast on the other.
