This species, previously described erroneously by Sars as S. octo- 

 cirratUj is an inch, or rather more, in length. Its colour is light 

 yellow, and that of the tentacular cirri bright sulphur-yellow. It 

 was found at Reine in Lofoten, and at Oxfjord in Finmark, at a depth 

 of 50 fathoms on a muddy bottom. 



Sahellides 8excirrata» Sars, n. s. 



Polllcaris, fulva ; cirris tentacularibus sex ; segmentis sectionis 

 anterioris corporis 1 7, tribus anticis mamilla dorsali setis capillaribus 

 instructa absque pinna ventrali, cseterisque et pinna dorsali setis ca- 

 pillaribus et ventrali setis uncinatis ; segmentis sectionis posterioris 

 corporis 13 absque pinna dorsali et setis uncinatis in pinna ventrali ; 

 segmento anali cirris nuUis. 



A single specimen of this species was taken at Manger at the depth 

 of 50-CO fathoms on a muddy bottom. In form and dimensions it 

 resembles S. horealis. 



Sahellides cristata, Sars, n. s. 



Sesqui-bipoUicaris, fulva; cirris tentacularibus octo; tentacuHs 

 oralibus filiformibus simplicibus (absque pinnis) ; segmentis sectionis 

 anterioris corporis 18, tribus anticis fasciculo setarum capillarium 

 dorsali absque mamilla pinna ventrali carente, cseterisque et pinna 

 dorsali mamilla setis capillaribus et ventrali setis uncinatis ; segmentis 

 sectionis posterioris corporis 50-53 absque setis in pinna dorsali cir- 

 riformi minima et setis uncinatis in pinna ventrali ; segmento anali 

 cirris nullis. 



The colour of the body of this Annelide is yellowish or minium- 

 red, with the tentacular cirri light green ; its length is 1^-2 inches, 

 and that of the cirri ^rd of an inch. It lives in a cylindrical tube of 

 5 or 6 inches in length, and Jq— |^th of an inch in thickness, resem- 

 bling that of Sabella, and similarly formed of clay or mud. It is 

 found pretty frequently in the vicinity of Manger, with the lower 

 extremity of its tube attached to submarine objects, at a depth of 

 50-60 fathoms on a muddy bottom, and has also been met with, 

 under the same circumstances, at Reine in Lofoten and at Havosund 

 in Finmark. 



Sahellides octocirrata, Sars, 



the fourth Norwegian species described in 1835 by Sars, is only half 

 an inch in length, of a fulvous colour, with the tentacular cirri 

 greenish. It has only been met with hitherto in the neighbourhood 

 of Bergen, near Glesvaer and Floroen, at a depth of 20-40 fathoms 

 on a muddy bottom. — Fauna Littoralis Norvegice, part 2. pp. 9-24,
