  In 
  size 
  and 
  general 
  

   appearance, 
  as 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  width 
  of 
  the 
  front, 
  this 
  small 
  

   species 
  closely 
  resembles

   typical

  which 
  was 
  also 
  taken

   Dr.

  L. 
  Strangman, 
  the 
  discoverer 
  of 
  Tabanus 
  parvus 
  at 
  

   the 
  same 
  place. 
  The 
  latter 
  species 
  can, 
  however, 
  be 
  distin- 
  

   guished 
  from 
  T. 
  anellosus 
  by 
  the 
  expanded 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  

   third 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  antenna 
  being 
  shorter 
  and 
  deeper, 
  by 
  the 
  

   terminal 
  annuli 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  joint 
  being 
  tawny-ochraceous 
  

   like 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  joint, 
  instead 
  of 
  dark 
  brown, 
  by 
  the 
  

   existence 
  of 
  a 
  long 
  appendix 
  to 
  the 
  anterior 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  

   third 
  longitiulinal 
  vein, 
  and 
  by 
  all 
  coxae, 
  femora, 
  and 
  tibiae 
  

   being 
  ochraceous-buff, 
  m' 
  here 
  is 
  in 
  T. 
  anellosus 
  the 
  coxae 
  are 
  

   grey, 
  all 
  the 
  femora 
  greyish 
  clove-brown, 
  and 
  the 
  front 
  

   tibiae 
  clove-brown 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  Judging 
  from

   examination 
  of

  this

  The 
  NephthydidoB 
  are 
  well 
  represented, 
  and 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  ten 
  

   species 
  accounted 
  British 
  by 
  Prof. 
  M'Intosh, 
  six 
  have 
  been 
  

   found 
  to 
  be 
  present 
  in 
  the 
  North 
  Sea. 
  The 
  Phyllodocidae 
  

   are 
  but 
  sparsely 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  single 
  species, 
  while 
  the 
  

   Hesionida3 
  show 
  representatives 
  of 
  two 
  genera 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  four 
  

   that 
  are 
  British. 
  They 
  occur 
  in 
  numerous 
  hauls 
  at 
  various 
  

   depths 
  and 
  at 
  various 
  stations 
  ranging 
  from 
  shallow 
  water
