seems to have been young, and the spines were small and in 

 various stages of development. This is probably the Phyl- 

 locloce viridis of Byerley's list. 



Phyllodoce lamelligeray Johnston. 



Phyllodoce vittata, Ehlers. 



Phyllodoce attenuata, Carrington. 



Phyllodoce clava^ Carrington. 

 These species are all recorded by Carrington as having 

 been found by him on the sands at Southport. Probably his 

 P, clava is P. clavigera (of Aud. and Ed.). P. attenuata seems 

 to be only a variety of P. lamelligera. None of these were 

 however obtained by the L. M. B. C, probably for the reason 

 already assigned, viz., that no systematic shore exploration 

 has yet been organised.

Syllis armillariSf 0. F. Miiller. 

 Three specimens were obtained in the dredge in eleven to 

 thirteen fathoms north of Puffin Island, on the Anglesea 

 coast. It is mentioned by Byerley as being rare on this 

 coast. 



Syllis prolifera, Miiller. 

 Mentioned by Carrington as " abundant in wet places, 

 but covered by a stratum of mud, and hence, as also from its 

 minute size, easily overlooked." 



Pollicita peripatiis, Johnston. 

 Carrington says, " Several specimens were found at the 

 base of Alcyonium digitatum brought from deep water after 

 storms." 



Syllis noctilucay Savigny. 

 This form was found by Dr. Edwards, and recorded by 

 Byerley, from the mud at the Landing Stage, Liverpool. It
