Internally the globular proce?ses have elongated granular 

 structures. The skin of the foot is likewise covered with 

 })a|)ill£e. A single si)ine supports the foot, the bristles iu 

 which differ from those of the ^(\\At Ephesia gracilis in having 

 the terminal piece less hooked as well as distinctly ditreren- 

 tiated from the end of the shaft. The terminal piece forms 

 a somewhat conical process with an oblique base, the dorsal 

 margin being slightly convex, the ventral slightly concave, 

 'i'lie shaft is somewhat curved and is dilated at the tin below 

 the bevelled articular surface. The bristles are very trans- 

 lucent aJid approach those of Ephesia canadensis, a species, 

 iiowever, v\*hich differs in other respects from this t'orm.^^

In ''Notes from the Gatty Marine Laboratory, St. Andrews. 

 — No. XXX.''' *, Prot. MTntosh gives the above as a common 

 British species ; but it is generally distributed in the Nortli 

 European seas, and extends to Greenland and the shares 

 of America. This species, however, does not appear in the 

 dredgings of the 'Porcupine' Expeditions of 1S69 and 1870, 

 although the genus is well represented by Stylarioides glauca, 

 S.Jlabellafa, and S. sarsii, which resembles S. jjlumosa, but 

 has a shorter anterior region, fewer segments, more velvety 

 surface, and stiffer dorsal bristle.*. In the dredgings of 

 Dr. Wiiiteaves in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, good
