of Cape Sable, October 7, 45 fathoms, rocky ; Browns Bank, off Cape

Family LUMBRINERID^. 



LUMBRINERIS FRAGILIS (Muller). 



Port Manvers, August 21, 30 fathoms, sticky mud. Two fragments 

 of anterior ends of a large Luinhrineris are referred, with some doubt, 

 to this species. They are 4-5 mm. in diameter, with a faint, narrow 

 brown band on the dorsum of each segment. The form of the head, 

 parapodia, etc., agree with this species. The jaws closely resemble 

 Mcintosh's figure, have five obscure teeth on the large right maxilla 

 (II) and four, more distinct ones, on the left. Two hooded crochets 

 appear in the parajoodia at XX and two acute limbate setse remain 

 in the middle of the bundle at LXXV, but have disappeared at XCV. 

 Intermediate forms of sette occur. Common and generally distrib- 

 uted north of Cape Cod, as well as in European Avaters, but rare 

 south of Cape Cod. 



LUMBRINERIS HEBES Verrill. 



Shoal Tickle, southeast of Nain, August 15; off Beacliy Island, 

 between Flint Island and Cape Mugford, August 22, 80 fathoms, 

 soft mud. 



Two incomplete examples, which agree with Verrill's description in 

 every respect, except that a single acute limbate seta persists in the 

 bundles as far as XL or L, while in examples of this species from 

 southeastern Massachusetts limbate seta? seldom occur beyond somite 

 XX to XXIV. 



This species, common throughout the length of the New England 

 coast, has not before been reported north of Eastport, where it was 

 taken by Webster and Benedict. 



Family ONUPHID^. 



NOTHRIA CONCHYLEGA (Sars) Malmgren. 



Egg Harbor, August 10, 7 fathoms, mud; outside of Hebron, Au- 

 gust 25, GO fathoms, gravel; same, August 26, 80 fathoms; off St. 

 Lawrence Harbor, Placentia Ba}', Newfoundland, September 29; 

 Browns Bank, off Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, October 8, 45 fathoms; 

 same, 110 fathoms, gravel. From one to four, mostly richly colored 

 examples, at each station. On muddy bottoms the tubes are covered 

 with fragments of shells; on gravelly bottoms with flat bits of rock. 

 This species is well known throughout the northern North Atlantic 

 and occurs as far south as Chatham, Massachusetts.
