Remarks. I have compared these examples with a specimen of this species from 



European waters and I can discover no ground for separation. I figure a head (Fig. 34, a) 



and two bristles (Fig. 34, b).

Syllis sclerolaema, Ehlers. 



Ehlers, 1901, p. 86, pi. x, figs. 1-2. 



St. 51. 4. V. 26. Off Eddystone Rock, East Falkland Island. From 7 miles 

 N 50° E to 7-6 miles N 63° E of Eddystone Rock. 105-115 m. Gear OTL. 

 Bottom: fine sand. Two specimens. 



Remarks. Two rather damaged fragments which I believe to 

 belong to this species. The body is rather massive and dorsally 

 arched. The prostomium is very small and the palps are very broad 

 at the base. I can see two pairs only of minute eyes, the anterior I 



larger than the hinder. The chaetal lobe has two unequal lips. The 

 bristles (Fig. 35) are broad at the head of the shaft and the articu- 

 lation between blade and shaft can only be seen after careful 

 examination. The blade has the appearance of an uninterrupted continuation of the 

 shaft (pseudoypsiloid) as shown in Ehlers' figure and it ends in a bidentate hook. 

 The ventral cirrus is large and triangular in outline.
