length, and there remains a damaged fragment of a 9th chaetiger which appears to be 

 longer than the 8th. There are prechaetal glandular bands on the 4th to the 8th chaetigers. 



Throughout the fragment the feet remain the same distance from the anterior border 

 of the segments. 



The ist chaetiger has about three ventral uncini, but I cannot with certainty dis- 

 tinguish on these any subrostral barbules. I can see only one kind of dorsal bristle : 

 slender, very thinly bordered capillaries (Fig. 72, h). The uncini (Fig. 72, c) have five 

 to six teeth above the main fang. 



Remarks. I have created a new species for these few fragments; it is necessarily 

 very imperfectly characterised owing to the poverty of the material. Further material 

 may show that this species is identical with one of the two European representatives 

 of the genus, A. catenata (Malmgren) or A. constricta (Claparede). 



The southern. A. quadrmiaculata, Augener, is a much smaller species with a differently 

 shaped head. 



Family OWENIIDAE 

 Genus Owenia, Delle Chiaje 

 Owenia fusiformis, Delle Chiaje. 

 Fauvel, 1927, p. 203, fig. 71 a-f. 

 St. WS 4. 30. ix. 26. 32° 45' 00" S, 18° 10' 00" E. 45-47 m. Gear DL. Twenty specimens. 



Remarks. The tube with its incrustation of imbricating sand grains and pieces of 

 shell, the branchial laciniated membrane and the innumerable hooks with two parallel 

 teeth are characteristic of this species.

Saldanha Bay Beach, South Africa, 1926. Three specimens. 



Remarks. These rather ill-preserved specimens are almost uniformly deep black, 

 except for the golden paleae. Johansson has created the genus Gunnarea with this as 

 the type species. He gives the absence of dorsal hooks (Nacken Hakeri) as the generic 

 differential. This is scarcely a character of generic value, but although this form agrees 

 with Idanthyrsus in the number of rows of paleae and of parathoracic segments, the 

 complete fusion dorsally of the peduncles to form a single opercular structure with
