•f Harmothoe maxillospinosa, de St. -Joseph. 



Eecorded from Dinard by de St.-Joseph, who found it several times 

 in dredgings. Pruvot's laminarian (gravel) region. 



f Harmothoe picta, de St.-Joseph. 



First recorded from Dinard, where de St.-Joseph found a single 

 specimen on the shore in an empty tube of Lanice conchilega, and 

 subsequently it was found in greater numbers, and from other localities 

 on the French coast, where it occurred as a tidal form.

•j- Harmothoe Ljungmani, Malmgren. 

 Not yet recorded from the neighbourhood of Plymouth. Mcintosh 

 records it as a tidal and a deep-water form, but Pruvot only includes 

 it in his laminarian zone.

*HAEMOTHOi; lunulata, Delle Chiaje. 



A not uncommon tidal form. It may be found among the laminarian 

 roots on the Plymouth Breakwater, and occasionally hidden under 

 stones near low water. 



Hornell (15) states that this species may be found in the ambulacral 

 grooves of Astropecten irregularis.

* Harmothoe spinifera, Ehlers. 



This is a very common species at Plymouth, and one in which the 

 colouration, always presenting a wide range in the Polynoids, is 

 sufficiently constant to make it readily recognisable. It is found in all 

 parts of the Sound where rocks and stones occur, in the crevices of 

 which it appears to dwell. 



Pruvot (29) notes it from the laminarian region only, which 

 corresponds with my experience, though Mcintosh (20) gives a locality 

 which is apparently within tidal limits.
