Remarks. — I am indebted to David W. Kirtley 

 for informing me that Sabellaria eenieiitariiini 

 recorded by Wells and Gray should be referred 

 to Sabellaria nilc/aris. 



Record. — Cape Hatteras to Beaufort, inter- 

 tidal to 40 m; common on corals and scallops 

 (2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20. 21. *).

Sabellaria niUjaris beai/fortpiisis Hartman, 

 1944b: 342, pi. 32: Fig. 45-47; 1945: 43. 



Remarks. — Generally similar to S. ralgaris 

 riilfjaris except for the paleae of the middle row 

 which are shorter, curled inwards, and very 

 blunt, almost truncate at the end. The two sub- 

 species are found together; tyjiical specimens 

 are easily identified but somi' intermediates 

 occur. 



R(co)-ds. — Beaufort, intertidal to 40 m (11, 

 18, ■■'■). 



Distribatioii. — North Carolina, 0-40 m.
