GATTYANA AMONDSENI (Malmgren) Mcintosh. 



HalfAva}^ from Cape Mugford to Hebron, August 23, GO fathoms, 

 mud and sand ; off Fish Island, August 25, 75 fathoms, mud ; 1 mile 

 north of Battle Harbor, September 14, 50 fathoms, fine sand. These 

 specimens are of a nearly uniform pale gray or brownish gray color 

 and in structural characters agree closely with Malmgren's figures. 

 This and the preceding species are found southward to Province- 

 town, Massachusetts, and Andrews has reported a specimen of G. 

 cirrosa even at Beaufort, North Carolina. 



EUPOLYNOE ANTICOSTIENSIS Mcintosh. 



Egg Harbor, Huntington Island, August 8, 7 fathoms, mud; off 

 Fish Island, outside of Hebron, August 25, 75 fathoms, mud ; 1 mile 

 north of Battle Harbor, September 14, 50 fathoms, fine sand. 



As its name indicates, this very clearlj?^ characterized species was 

 originalh'' described b}^ Mcintosh from the Gulf of St. Lawrence and 

 up to the present has not been recorded elsewhere. A single example 

 was taken at each station, and the label accompanying that first 

 recorded bears the interesting memorandum " Worm with row of 

 phosphorescent spots on each side," thus adding this species to the 

 list of known luciferous Polynoida?. 



The dark spot on the elytra mentioned by Mcintosh lies at the 

 anterior side of the isthmus of an oo -shaped, unpigmented spot 

 bounded by the curved brown bands, which, however, may not fully 

 inclose it, but leave it continuous antero-laterally with the colorless 

 covered portion of the el^^tra. Each segment is marked on the dorsum 

 by a narrow, transverse, greenish stripe and often by a pair of small 

 broAvn spots. 



The proboscis protruded on one specimen measures 5.6 mm. long, 

 3 mm. wide, and 3.5 mm. deep, with 9 dorsal and 9 ventral orificial 

 papillae and 4 short, stout, pale-brown jaws of the usual form, but 

 shorter than in most related species. 



LEPIDONOTUS SQUAMATUS (Linnaeus) Kinberg. 



Browns Bank, off Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, October 8, 140 fathoms, 

 rocky and sandy. 



Curiously enough, this species, usually so plentiful and ubiquitous 

 on all northern coasts, is represented by a single example onl}^, a 

 specimen about 25 mm. long with bright brick-red elytral papillse. 

 Packard reports this species as common all along the Labrador 

 coast from the littoral zone to 20 fathoms. It ranges at least to 

 Virginia, and probably beyond.
