Nereis fucatcL This species is very frequently met with in Buccimnn 

 undatum shells inhabited by Eupagurus Bcrnhardus. The actual 

 number of records is not great, as in only a few cases in the hauls made 

 during this particular investigation were the shells opened to seek the 

 worm. 



Distribution. North America, Great Britain, France {fide Michaelsen, No. 79). 

 Generally in i?(i(;cmit//i or Fusus shells inliabitcd hy Eiqxtgurus Be)-7ihardus {'Slicha.ehen, 

 Saint-Joseph, Hornell). Hornell (No. 49) found the worm in ninety per cent, of the shells 

 inhabited by K Bcrnhardus. He also sometimes took it free. 



Nereis procera. Not uncommon on the fine sand grounds, especially 

 on Grounds II., III., VI., and VII. It also was taken on the coarse 

 gravel and fine sand north-west of the Eddystone (Ground XI.) and on 

 the Bolt Head Shell Gravel (Ground XVII.). 



Distribution. Gulf of Georgia (Ehlers), Madeira (Langerhans), Dinard (Saint-Joseph). 



Typosyllis oltcrnosetosa. Several specimens identified by Professor 

 Weldon in hauls 101 and 102 on the fine sand of Ground VI., south of 

 the Eddystone. 



Distribution. This species has been recorded only from the north coast of France by 

 Saint- Joseph (No. 102). 



Ehlersia cornuta. One specimen in haul 87 on Ground XVI. 



Distribution. Norway, Spitzbergen, Atlantic, Madeira, Mediterranean [fide Cams, 

 No. 14]. 



Eukdia viridis. Identified by Mr. Hodgson in haul 54 on Ground 

 VII. 



Distribution. Behring Straits, North Sea, Channel, Atlantic, Mediterranean {fide 

 Saint-Joseph, No. 102). Kattegat (Levinsen). Michaelsen (No. 79) took it in the North 

 Sea on both coarse and fine grounds (1-44 fatlioms). M'Intosh (No. 81) records it from 

 the shore at Shetland, and the Pommcrania obtained it amongst stones and algae in 

 4 fathoms (Mobius, No. 87). Common on shore at Plymouth. 



Amhlyosyllis spectahilis. In haul 27 only on the Bolt Head Shell 

 Gravel (Ground XVIL). 

 Distribution. English Channel. 



Folydora caeca. Several specimens in haul 101 on the fine sand 

 south of the Eddystone (Ground VI.). 



Distribution. Northern Oceans, Mediterranean? [/rfe Saint- Joseph], 



Nephthys Homhergii. In haul 91 on the fine sand of Ground III. 



Distribution. Nova Zembla, Kara Sea, Norway, Fariie, England, France, Madeira, 

 Mediterranean [fide Michaelsen, No. 79]. 



Depth and Bottom-deposit. Saint-Joseph (No. 102) obtained this species at Dinard on 

 tlie shore only ; Hornell (No. 49) in the Irish Sea, common from the shore to 22 fatlioms. 

 The Norwegian North Atlantic expedition took it at 142, 148, and 263 fathoms on mud 

 {clay) (Hansen, No. 36), and the Ccnidan in the Baj' of Biscay on mud at 160 to 220 

 fathoms and at 98 fathoms (Roule, No. 101). 



Glycera convoluta was obtained on the clean shell gravel immediately 

 to the west of the Eddystone rocks (Ground XVI.), where it was a 

 characteristic feature of the fauna. Specimens of Glycera, almost
