THE MOUNT DESERT REGION 137 



N. ciLiATA (0. F. Miiller). (Ehlers, 1868, p. 629, pi. 23, fig. 

 36; Fauvel, 1923, p. 371, fig. 145a-g.) This species is more 

 commonly dredged than taken by shore collecting. The worm 

 is usually light pink in life and the setae on the parapodia 

 are very fine and delicately arranged. Stimpson records the 

 Grand Manan specimens as being mostly jet black. The best 

 stations are D 16, 144, and S 5. Range of depth is low water 

 to 239 feet. Stations : D 16, 27, 96, 108, 130, 134, 141, 143, 

 144; S5, 6, 9,43,44.

P. CATENULA Verrill. ( Verrill, 1873, pp. 494, 587 ; 1881, pi. 5, 

 fig. 4.) Common among algae and on hard bottoms with 

 mud, from low water to 330 feet. Preserved specimens are 

 white to greenish brown. The transparent young have been 

 taken with a tow net. Best stations are D 33, 40 ; S 4. Sta- 

 tions : D 14, 18, 19, 32, 33, 35, 39, 40, 42, 46, 47, 52, 53, 56,

P. BADiA Malmgren. (Malmgren, 1867, p. 22, pi. 2, fig. 6.) 

 One of our specimens was determined by Doctor Treadwell. 

 Taken on hard bottom in 57 to 69 feet of water, rare. Sta- 

 tions : D 40, 60, 140. 



P. MUCOSA Oersted. (Fauvel, 1923, p. 152, fig. 54a-e.) 

 Color of the preserved specimen is light yellow. 



P. GROENLANDicA Oersted. (Fauvel, 1923, p. 153, fig. 54f-i.) 

 Some examples were identified by Doctor Treadv/ell. The 

 living worms are bright green, the preserved ones brown with 

 a slight green tinge. After roots of seaweeds have stood in 

 the aquaria over night, these worms are often found crawling 

 about the glass at the water line. Found on mixed bottoms 

 from low water to 220 feet. Stations : D 14, 15, 18, 19 ; S 12. 



P. MACULATA Oersted. (Fauvel, 1923, p. 152, fig. 53a-c.) 

 One adult was taken at S 43.
