 Britain and the host of II . ferrugiaeus, Oliv.

I give a figure of this species, as there are not many 

 8|)ecies in the genus in which the dorsal strito arc almost 

 obliterated by the surface-scul|)ture.

XXXV. — Report on the Annelida Fohjch(sta collected in the

[Plate XVI.] 



This report is the third issued in connection with tlie 

 Anuenda Polychata collected in the North Sea by the 

 ' Goldscckcr ' and includes the families Syllidae, NercidcC, 

 and Eun cidse. Of the Syllids only one genus, viz. SijUis 

 occurs, and of the twelve species accounted British, onlv 

 three are present in this collection. The Nercidre have 

 three representatives of the nine common to British waters, 

 and probably the absence of the others is accounted for by 

 the fact that they are more littoral than deep-sea forms. 

 Although the Eunicidje are only represented by five gc nera, 

 yet the members of one species alone, viz. Hyalimecia tnhi- 

 cola, O. F. ]\li.iller, outnumber all the others taken together.
