Manchester Memoirs, Vol. xlv. (1901), No. 13. 15 



Three specimens taken on the shore at low water. 



Distribution. — Sts. of Magellan. Shallow water, among 

 weeds, during storms; Kerguelen, 12-120 faths.; between 

 Kerguelen and Heard Island, 150 faths. ; off Marion Island, 

 69 faths. ; off Heard Island, 75 faths. ; South Georgia. 



Genus. Cosmopolitan. 



Sabellid.^. 



Sabella ceratodaiila. Schmarda ('61), p. 33. 



Two specimens from the bottom of a beached lighter 

 which had not left the harbour for many years. One 

 specimen taken on the shore at low water. 



Distribution. — New Zealand. New to Falkland Islands. 



The genus appears to be cosmopolitan. 



Bispira inarim (?). Lo Bianco ('93). 



Two large specimens found living amid a large bunch 

 of simple Ascidians taken from the side of a hulk put in 

 shore for repairs. 



Distribution. — Mediterranean. New to Falklands and 

 to Southern Hemisphere. 



This form appears to be very like the Mediterranean 

 B. marice, but Lo Bianco in his description does not 

 mention certain " pick-axe " bristles (" soies en pioche ") 

 which accompany the thoracic uncini, and which are 

 characteristic of the genus. I have not had an opportunity 

 of examining specimens of the Mediterranean form, but 

 if these structures are not present, then, according to 

 St. Joseph ('94), B. marice should be placed in another 

 genus. 



The genus has hitherto only been taken in the northern 

 temperate zone. 



SERPULID/E. 



Spirorbis borealis. Daudin.
