Fauvel (1917, p. 209) has pointed out the resemblances in structure of these 

 two species, and shows that they are identical. For other synonyms consult his 

 article. 



A single specimen of this Australasian worm was obtained by Professor Flynn 

 (12th December, 1912).

 L. magalhaensis Grube (1877), p. 531. 

 L. kerguelensis Grube (1878), p. 14 (separate copy).

The specimens before me agree almost exactly with Mcintosh's account of 

 L. kerguelensis Gr. Grube had tentatively assigned it to Kinberg's species, and Ehlers 

 in 1897, having had the opportunity of examining both the types, found that they are 

 identical. 



* Leiper ( 1908) lias enumerated a series of names of annelid genera which are already " occupied " ; amongst others 

 is Eunice. But it is so well established amongst Zoologists, while the insect to which it was originally applied is unknown 

 to most of us, that no useful purpose would be served by discarding the name as now usually employed.
