30 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



represents another kind of ventral bristle, for I never met with a dorsal bristle of this 

 shape in the Euryt hoe-species." 



I am not aware that E. chilensis has been recorded since Kinberg's original description 

 of an example from off Valparaiso. The common southern American form is E. pauper a, 

 Grube. It seems probable that E. chilensis is a southern cold water species carried 

 north by the cold current, which might account for its occurrence in places as far 

 apart as Valparaiso and Tristan da Cunha. 



Genus Chloeia, Savigny 

 Chloeia viridis, Schmarda. 



Schmarda, 1861, p. 144, pi. xxxv, figs. 295-305; Augener, 1925, p. 20. 



Chloeia euglochis, Ehlers, 1887, pp. 18-24, P^- *> %s- ^ ^^^ 2; pi. ii, figs. 1-8; pi. iii, figs. 1-4. 

 St. 283. 14. viii. 27. Off Annobon, Gulf of Guinea. -75 to i mile N 12° E of Pyramid Rock, 

 Annobon. 18-30 m. Gear DLH. One specimen. 



Remarks. The single example of this species measures 32 mm. by 6 mm. excluding 

 the feet. The segmental T-shaped markings consist of slender rather faded lines in 

 place of the usual broad stripes. There are 28 chaetigers and the caruncle extends to 

 the anterior edge of the 6th. 



This specimen is similar to those described by Augener (19 18, p. 94) as Chloeia 

 euglochis, Ehlers from Goree Island, off Senegal. An examination of Schmarda's type 

 has convinced Augener (1925, p. 20) that C. euglochis is synonymous with C. viridis, 

 and I believe that Chloeia parva, Baird is also indistinguishable. 



Genus Notopygos, Grube 



Notopygos megalops, Mcintosh. 



Mcintosh, 1885, p. 17, pi. i, fig. i ; pi. ii A, figs. 3 and 4. 

 Fauvel, 1923, p. 133, fig. 48 i-n. 

 St. 283. 14. viii. 27. Off Annobon, Gulf of Guinea. -75 to i mile N 12" E of Pyramid Rock, 

 Annobon. 18-30 m. Gear DLH. One specimen. 



Remarks. A single specimen, measuring 14 mm. by 3 mm. including the feet, and 

 having 17 chaetigers. It is colourless except for the large black eyes. The caruncle 

 reaches back to the 5th chaetiger and the branchiae begin on the 7th. The first three 

 chaetigers are involved with the mouth. The chaetae are much damaged, but as far as 

 can be seen they agree with Mcintosh's and Fauvel's figures. The anus opens on the 

 dorsal surface of the terminal segment between the pygidial styles. The regular seg- 

 mental folding of the skin to form a sort of pattern on the back, which is apparent in 

 Mcintosh's type, is well shown in this specimen. This is the first record of this species 

 from the African coast ; it has previously been found at Bermuda and off the coast of 

 Spain. 



I think it probable that this species will prove to be the young form of Notopygos 

 crinita, Grube from Ascension Island. As far as our present knowledge goes, the
