  The 
  present 
  specimen 
  was 
  obtained 
  at 
  Station 
  18 
  A, 
  

   60° 
  57' 
  N., 
  5° 
  47' 
  VV., 
  and 
  at 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  384 
  m. 
  It 
  was 
  taken 
  

   along 
  witli 
  N. 
  cceca 
  and 
  some 
  LumbriconereidcB. 
  The 
  body 
  

   has 
  about 
  95 
  sej^ments, 
  and 
  is 
  slightly 
  tapered 
  anteriorly, 
  

   more 
  so 
  posteriorly, 
  and 
  ends 
  in 
  a 
  caudal 
  cirrus. 
  The 
  foot 
  * 
  

   resembles 
  that 
  of 
  N. 
  cceca, 
  but 
  the 
  lamellie 
  are 
  not 
  so 
  well 
  

   developed, 
  and 
  so 
  the 
  species 
  can 
  be 
  readily 
  differentiated. 
  

   The 
  tentacles, 
  moreover, 
  are 
  more 
  slender 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  

   A^. 
  cceca, 
  and 
  so 
  another 
  point 
  of 
  difference 
  arises. 
  The 
  gut 
  

   contained 
  diatoms, 
  mud, 
  and 
  small 
  larvae, 
  many 
  of 
  which 
  

   were 
  fragmentary. 
  The 
  specimen 
  was 
  not 
  niature. 
  

  

  Nephthys 
  cirrosa, 
  Elilers, 
  1868. 
  

  

  Several 
  fragments 
  of 
  this 
  annelid 
  were 
  dredged 
  at 
  

   Station 
  7, 
  61° 
  06' 
  N., 
  2° 
  1' 
  E., 
  at 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  15 
  fathoms, 
  and 
  

   all 
  the 
  fragments 
  denote 
  that 
  the 
  entire 
  annelids 
  were 
  small. 
  

   There 
  is 
  no 
  mention 
  of 
  A'^. 
  cirrosa 
  in 
  the 
  * 
  Challenger 
  ' 
  

   Reports. 
  Izuka 
  records 
  none 
  from 
  Japanese 
  waters, 
  and 
  

   Heinen 
  makes 
  no 
  mention 
  of 
  any 
  from 
  his 
  North 
  Sea 
  investi- 
  

   gations. 
  The 
  Ray 
  Society 
  JMonograph, 
  however, 
  gives 
  the 
  

   following 
  as 
  its 
  habitat 
  : 
  — 
  Channel 
  Islands, 
  Herm, 
  Guernsey, 
  

   and 
  in 
  sand 
  under 
  stones 
  in 
  Galway, 
  Ireland 
  [Mcintosh) 
  ; 
  

   shores 
  of 
  France, 
  Dinard 
  and

  (Baron

  St. 
  Joseph) 
  ; 
  

   Norway 
  {Canon 
  Norman) 
  ; 
  Strait 
  of 
  Magellan 
  {Elders). 
  

  

  There 
  was 
  nothing 
  of 
  outstanding 
  interest 
  about 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  

   fragments, 
  and 
  none 
  showed 
  any 
  signs 
  of 
  maturity.

  Only 
  one 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  annelid 
  was 
  obtained. 
  It 
  oc- 
  

   curred 
  in 
  haul 
  187 
  and 
  was 
  trawled 
  at 
  the 
  depth 
  of 
  545- 
  

   788 
  m. 
  In 
  the 
  Monograph 
  (vol. 
  ii. 
  part

  p. 
  33) 
  this 
  

   creature 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  540 
  fathoms 
  in 
  the 
  / 
  Knight 
  

   Errant' 
  Expedition. 
  No 
  record 
  of 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  Prof. 
  Izuka's 
  

   work 
  nor 
  in 
  'Challenger' 
  Reports. 
  The 
  specimen 
  is 
  very 
  

   sujall 
  and 
  very 
  much 
  shrivelled, 
  having 
  been 
  badly 
  scorched 
  

   in 
  the 
  fire. 
  Identitieation 
  was 
  made 
  from 
  the 
  structure 
  of 
  

   the 
  feet 
  and 
  the 
  bristles.
