90 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



with which to compare them. Most of them are larger than previously recorded 

 examples, being from 15 mm. to 25 mm. in length. The number of segments is 22 to 25 

 and is fairly constant. 



The collector made the following notes on the colour of the living individuals: 

 St. 78, "colourless transparent"; St. 89, "transparent"; St. 85, "white opaque." 



Sagitella cornuta, Ehlers. 



Ehlers, 1913, p. 527, pi. xxxix, figs. 8-14. 



St. 258. 25. vi. 27. 35° 03' 30" S, 13° 55' 00" E. 320-450 m. Gear TYF. One specimen. 



Remarks. This single specimen has 23 segments and a length of 31 mm. It is easily 

 distinguishable by the paired digitiform processes arising from the nuchal organs 

 behind the head. 



Sagitella lobifera, Ehlers. 



Ehlers, 1912, p. 24, pi. iii, figs. 1-4. 



St. 78. 12. vi. 26. 35° 18' 00" S, 19° 01' 10" W. 1000 (-o)m. Gear TYF. Two specimens. 



St. 85. 23. vi. 26. 33° 07' 40" S, 4° 30' 20" E. 2000 (-0) m. Gear N 450. One specimen, 



St. 100. 3-4. X. 26. 33° 20' 00" to 33° 46' 00" S, 15° 18' 00" to 15° 08' 00" E. 2500-2000 m. 

 Gear TYF. One specimen. 



Remarks. I have compared these specimens with Ehlers' type and am able to modify 

 his account of the nuchal processes on the head. There are only three lobes, a small 

 crescentic lobe in the middle and on either side two longer pinnate lobes with two or 

 three branches on each side of the main stem. Moreover, as Ehlers' figure indicates, the 

 parapodia and the bristles are more prominent and clearly defined than in the other 

 species of the genus. The bristles begin on the 6th foot and not on the ioth-i2th as 

 they do in S. kowalewskii. 



The collector describes the living individuals as "deep scarlet" (St. 100) and "uni- 

 formly deep scarlet" (St. 78). 



Genus Typhloscolex, Busch 



Typhloscolex miilleri, Busch. 



Fauvel, 1923, p. 226, fig. 85/-A. 



St. SS 53. 16. ii. 28. 6i° 30' 00" S, 23° 20' 00" W. 250-100 m. Gear N 70 V. One specimen. 



Remarks. A single example which I believe to belong to this species. The cirri are 

 rather large, and it should perhaps be referred to T. phyllodes, Reibisch. Both species 

 have been recorded from the Antarctic by Ehlers. 



Genus Travisiopsis, Levinsen 

 Travisiopsis sp. 



St. 100. 3-4. X. 26. 33° 20' 00" to 33° 46' 00" S, 15° 18' 00" to 15° 08' 00" E. 2500-2000 m. 

 Gear TYF. One specimen.
