POLYCH^ETA-BENHAM. 19 



2. MACQUARIE ISLAND. 



This island has not hitherto been explored for Polychjeta, but thanks to the 

 industry and care of Mr. H. Hamilton during the nearly two years he sojourned here, 

 I can put on record fifteen species of which three are new : Luinbriconereis macquariensis, 

 Sphoerodorum spissum and Polytirrus fiamiltoni. All the other species are typically 

 sub-antarctic in character, and have been recorded either from the southern outliers of 

 New Zealand or from the Kerguelen or Falkland Islands. They were all collected in 

 rock pools or under stones or rocks along the shore. 



Syllis dosterobranchia. 



Syllis brachycda. 



Exogone anomalochceta. 



Eulalia magalhaensis. 



Nereis Tcerguelensis . 



Nereis australis ( magalhatnsis). 



Lumbriconereis magalhaensis. 



Lumbriconereis macquariensis. 



Sphcerodorum spissum. 



Cirratulus drratus.

3. MARIA ISLAND, TASMANIA. 



Five species were obtained in the two trawls put down by Professor Flynn. 

 Of these one is new, and belongs to a Polynoid genus, Hololepidella, established by 

 Willey for a Ceylon species. Two of the other species obtained have already been 

 reported from the neighbourhood ; the remaining couple are widely distributed. 



Hololepidella flynni (from 1,300 fathoms). 



Physalidonotus rugosus (from 65 fathoms). 



Lcetmonice producta var. bentJialiana (from 1,300 fathoms). 



Eunice tentaculata (from 65 fathoms).
