I20 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



in length to the five following segments. The gills extend from the 3rd to the 60th 

 chaetigers and have a maximum of 20 branches. 



The dental formula is 10 — 12 : 10 + 4 — 9. 



Another small specimen measuring 30 mm. long described by Ehlers (1908, p. 87) 

 has gills extending from the 3rd to the 35th chaetiger and a maximum of four branches : 

 the ventral cirrus has an elongated thread-like tip. 



The dental formula is 7 — 8 : 7 + ? — .'': Ehlers' figure of the upper jaws is not very 

 clear. 



I think it rather doubtful that the specimen ascribed with hesitation to E. atlantica 

 by Ehlers in 1901 is conspecific with the one described by him in 1908. 



Eunice savigtiyi, described by Grube from the Philippines and by Ehlers (1908, p. 88) 

 from 500 m. off the Cape of Good Hope, is also very close to, if not identical with, 

 E. pennata. The median tentacle reaches back to the 6th chaetiger : the first two seg- 

 ments are not as long as the first three chaetigers. The gills extend from the 3rd to the 

 40th chaetigers and have a maximum of 6-7 branches. He records a single pair only 

 of anal cirri. 



The dental formula is 7 — 6 : 7 + 7 — 6. The acicula and bristles are similar to those 

 described for E. pennata. 



According to Augener E. pennata, O.F.M., is identical with Nereis norvegica, 

 Linnaeus (partini). 



Eunice siciliensis, Grube.

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

 Amiobon. 18-30 m. Gear DLH. Five specimens. 



Remarks. These specimens were taken, together with examples of E. longicirrata, 

 E. vittata and Nicidion edentulum. 



Eunice vittata (Delle Chiaje).

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. Fifteen specimens. 



Remarks. The anterior ends of 15 young specimens, the largest of which measures 

 30 mm. by i mm. without the feet for 55 chaetigers. I can discover no annulation of 

 the tentacles. The gills begin on the 3rd and end about the 35th chaetiger and their 

 maximum number of filaments is five. I see only one tridentate subacicular chaeta. 



The dental formula is 12 — 11 : 9 + 10 — 15. 



I can see nothing to separate this species from E. indica, Kinberg, a good account of 

 which is given by Crossland (1904, p. 318).
