POLYCHAETA.* 



[Nomenclature: de Saint- Joseph, " Les Annelides Polychetes des Cotes de Dinard," Ann. 

 Sci. Nat. Zoologie, 1887-95 ; " Les Annelides Polychetes des C6tes de France (Manche 

 et Ocean)," ditto, 1898.] 



Syllis hamata, ClapaHde. Dredged in the channel between Salstone 

 and Snape's Point. 



Other Syllids, the species of which have not been determined, were 

 dredged in all parts of the estuary. 



Amblyosyllis (Gattiola) spectabilis, Johnston, was dredged in the 

 channel west of the Salstone. 



Mykianida maculata, ClaparMe. One specimen, with a chain of 

 six or seven buds, found on the fine mud on the north-east side of the 

 Salstone. A second quite young example also came from the same 

 locality, and the species was dredged in the channel west of the Salstone. 



This is almost certainly the Nereis pinnigera of Montagu {Trans. 

 Linn. Soc. ix. 1808, p. Ill, PI. VI. Fig. 8), although de Saint- Joseph 

 {Ann. Sci. Nat. xx. 1895, p. 195) does not adopt Montagu's specific 

 name, giving it only as a doubtful synonym. The Salstone, where our 

 specimens were taken, was one of Montagu's favourite hunting grounds. 



EuPHKOSYNE FOLIOSA, Aud. et Edio. Three specimens, dredged in 

 the channel between Salstone and Snape's Point. 



Aphrodite aculeata, Linn. One small specimen only of this sand- 

 burrowing species was obtained. It was 28 mm. long, and came from 

 Millbay Sands. 



f Lepidonotus squamatus {Linn.). Dredged in the channel between 

 the Salstone and Snape's Point, as well as in the channel in Salcombe 

 Harbour. It was also obtained on the shore under the Marine Hotel. 



Gattyana cirrosa {Pallas). Found on the shore living in the tubes 

 of Amphitrite Johnstoni on the Salstone, south of Halwell Point and 

 near the mouth of Salcombe Harbour (under Marine Hotel). 



Lagisga, sp. Dredged in the channel west of the Salstone. 



HARMOTHOii bPiMFERA {EhUrs). Dredged in the channel west of the 

 Salstone, and between the Salstone aud Snape's Point. 



Harmothoe setosissima {Savigny). On the eastern shore of 

 Salcombe Harbour. 



Harmothoe lunulata {Delle Chiaje). On the shore of the bay 

 north of Pilworthy Point. 



EvAENE IMPAR {Johiston). Dredged in the channel between the 

 Salstone and the mouth of Salcombe Harbour.
