172 PKOCEEPINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND. 



Sagitta maciocephala Fowler. 

 One specimen of the above species was captured off the 

 coast of West Africa in 15° N. latitude, during August, 

 1919, which agreed in all particulars with the type descrip- 

 tion, and in addition possessed a small spine-like projection 

 on each papilla of the vestibular ridge, very similar to those 

 figured by Michael (1911, PL III., 16, 17) for 8. gigantea 

 and S. lyra. 



A few very small individuals, collected off the same 

 coast during a run of 100 miles near the equator, I have 

 placed, though with some hesitation, under this species, as, 

 although all the features except the head agreed with the 

 descriptions, the latter was very much smaller in proportion 

 to the body than is generally the case. 



Already recorded from the Atlantic and Pacific 

 Oceans. 



Sagitta minima Grassi. 



This species was obtained on three occasions during 

 the month of August, 1919 — viz., during the voyages from

 Already recorded from the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific
