TEREBELLIDAE 185 



? Amphicteis gunned (M. Sars), var. japonica (Mcintosh). 



Amphicteis japonica, Mcintosh, 1885, p. 431, pi. xxvii A, figs. 3-5. 

 Amphicteis gunneri, var. japonica, Hessle, 1917, p. 117. 



St. 279. 10. viii. 27. OfF Cape Lopez, French Congo. From 8-5 miles N 71° E to 15 miles 

 N 24° E of Cape Lopez Light. 58-67 m. GearOTL. Bottom: mud and fine sand. One specimen. 



Remarks. A single specimen, measuring 21 mm. by 2 mm. The paleae are indis- 

 tinguishable from those of the northern form, and in this they agree with those of 

 Hessle's Japanese specimens rather than Mcintosh's. In fact, as Hessle points out, the 

 only difference between this form and the northern is that the hooks have an extra 

 tooth. Those of my specimen correspond exactly to Mcintosh's figure. On distribu- 

 tional grounds I had much hesitation in assigning this form to the Japanese variety, 

 but an A. gunneri with an extra tooth to its hooks seems to be an exact account of this 

 form.

Sub-family AMPHITRITINAE, Malmgren 



Genus Terebella, Linnaeus 

 Terebella ehlersi, Gravier.

 Bottom: grey mud. Seven specimens. 



St. 149. 10. i. 27. Mouth of East Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. From 1-15 miles N 76^° W 

 to 2-62 miles S 1 1° W of Merton Rock. 200-234 m. Gear OTL. Bottom: mud. Six specimens. 



St. 190. 24. iii.27. Bismarck Strait, Palmer Archipelago. 64° 56' 00" S, 65° 35' 00" W. 93-126 m. 

 Gear DLH and NRL. Bottom: stones, mud and rock. Two specimens. 



St. MS 68. 2. iii. 26. East Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. 17 miles S i E to 8i cables 

 SE X E of Sappho Point. 220-247 "i- Gear NRL. Six specimens. 



Remarks. St. 149 yielded a large specimen measuring 145 mm. in length without 

 the tentacles. This is considerably longer than any previous record. Hessle claims that 

 this species has eye spots. With Gravier I cannot see these. The species is distinguished 

 by its twisted and denticulated dorsal bristles.
