154 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



Remarks. This is the first record of a Chaetopterid from Antarctic waters except for 

 P. picttis, Crossland (= P. socialis, Claparede, fide Fauvel) recorded by Augener from 

 the sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands: unfortunately the condition is so unsatisfactory 

 that I cannot assign it to a species. It seems to be close to P. major, Claparede, but 

 that species is described as having only a single lanceolate bristle in the posterior 

 notopodia. 



Family CIRRATULIDAE 



Genus Audouinia, Quatrefages sensu Fauvel 



Audouinia filigera (Delle Chiaje) var. capensis (Schmarda). 



Cirratulus capensis, Schmarda, 1861, p. 56, pi. xxvii, fig. 213. 

 Cirratidiis capensis, auctorum. 



Cirratulus cirratus (O. F. Miiller), Mcintosh, 1904, p. 67. 

 Non Cirratulus cirratus (O. F. Miiller). 



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

 Gear NH. Eleven specimens. 



Remarks. This form seems to be identical with A. filigera (Delle Chiaje) except that 

 the tentacles are on the 3rd and 4th chaetigers instead of the 4th and 5th or 5th and 6th. 

 Fauvel, in his account of A. filigera (1927, p. 92), states that the gills are above the 

 dorsal ramus at a distance equal to or greater than that which separates the two rami. 

 This is true only from about the 40th chaetiger: in front of the 40th chaetiger the 

 distance between the gill and the dorsal ramus is less than that which separates the 

 two rami.
