Priapulus caudatus Lamarck var. tuberculato-spinosus Baird. 

 From many parts of the Antarctic. 



Only the last named appeared in the Discovery collections. In addition, Benham 

 (1916) reports that a single specimen was found in the collections made by F.I.S. 

 ' Endeavour ', but there was no note of the locality in which it was taken. Although 

 already recorded froin the Antarctic seas, no specimen had been found so far north in 

 the southern hemisphere, since the ' Endeavour ' did not enter the Antarctic.
