cess. Scoloplos armiger, M tiller, a very common inhabitant of our western 

 and northern sandy shores. Naidonereis quadricu-spidata (Fabr.), (Ersted, 

 also abundant in the same localities. Troplionia glauca, Malmgren, charac- 

 terized by having bristles instead of hooks on the inferior division of the seg- 

 ments. Chcetopterus norvegicus, Bars, a species which apparently comprehends 

 G. insignis, Baird. Scolecolepis cirrata, Sars, not rare in the Shetland seas. 

 Rhodine Loveni, Malmgren, which has its uncini placed in a double row as 

 Terebella. It is one of the Maldanidce. AxiotJiea catenata, Malmgren. This 

 has an infundibuliform anal funnel with alternate longer and shorter fila- 

 ments, and the base of the cup is marked exteriorly on the ventral surface 

 by a continuation of the median line. The hooks have usually about six teeth 

 on the summit above the great fang, though the anterior ones have fewer, 

 and the posterior a larger number. Praxilla prcetermissa, Malmgren, a 

 form common on our western and northern shores, in a depth of 4 to 8 

 fathoms. Praanlla gracilis, Sars. Clymene ebiensis, Aud. & Ed., of which 

 only a single incomplete example occurred. The hooks are less curved than 

 in the foregoing species, and the crown somewhat flattened. The type was 

 found on the coast of Brittany. Ampharete artica, Malmgren. Salellides 

 sexcirrata, Sars. Grymcea Bairdi, Malmgren, a species very closely allied to 

 TJielepus ( Venusia) circinnatus. Lysilla Loveni, Malmgren, which has six 

 pairs of foot-papiike in front, each with a submerged tuft of simple bristles. 

 The dorsum is densely tuberculated, and the cephalic lobe furnished with 

 clavate grooves and filiform tentacles. Euclione analis, Kroyer. Clwne in- 

 fundibuliformis, Kroyer.
