I04 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



Remarks. I can confirm Ramsay's (1914, p. 42) observation that the southern 

 examples of this species have no heterogomph spinigers. I have examined the type of 

 Nereis patagoriica, Mcintosh (1865, p. 228): the proboscis is withdrawn and previous 

 dissection has made it impossible to study the arrangement of the paragnaths with any 

 accuracy, but its general facies and its feet are those of a typical A'^. kerguelemis . 



Nereis callaona, Grube. 



Augener, 191 8, p. 184, with synonymy. 



St. 90. 10. vii. 26. Simon's Town, False Bay, South Africa. Basm of H.M. Dockyard. 0-2 m. 

 Gear NH. One specimen. 



Remarks. The specimen from St. 90 is a small anterior fragment of 25 chaetigers, 

 and measures 11 mm. by 2 mm. including the feet. It is doubtfully of this species. 

 The proboscis is withdrawn, but as far as I can see, the arrangement of the paragnaths 

 corresponds to that in Kinberg's figures of the proboscis (as N. angusta), with the 

 exception that there is clearly a single paragnath in Group V. 



The feet are indistinguishable from those described for this species. 



Nereis eugeniae (Kinberg).

St. WS 81. 19. iii. 27. 8 miles N 11° W of North Island, West Falkland Island. From 

 51° 30' 00" S, 61° 15' 00" W to 51° 30' 30" S, 61° 10' 00" W. 81-82 m. GearOTC. Bottom:sand. 

 One specimen. 



St. WS 84. 24. iii. 27. 7J miles S 9" W of Sea Lion Island, East Falkland Island. From 

 52° 33' 00" S, 59° 08' 00" W to 52° 34' 30" S, 59° 11' 00" W. 75 m. Gear OTC. Bottom: coarse 

 sand, shell and stones. One specimen. 



Remarks. This species appears to be common off the Falkland Islands. It was first 

 recorded from there by Ramsay (1914, p. 43). It is considerably larger and slightly 

 darker in colour (in spirit) than the other two common southern nereids A'^. kerguelensis 

 and N. magalhaensis . It seems not to penetrate further south than the Falkland Islands. 



Ehlers figures the paragnaths of Groups VII and VIII as vaguely distichous. They 

 form a single very sparse rather irregular row and in a number of the larger examples 

 they appear to be altogether absent.
