dish and some dark green. They were also dredged <m the muddy bottom near the. station August 

 9, 1883, in about 3 fathoms. 



It is quite possible that 1'. nrctica, described by llansen (loc. cit.), from the neighborhood of 

 Spitsbergen, is only a variety of this species, as the distinction is based on tht> number of papilla- 

 on the evaginated proboscis, which appears to be subject to great variation. 



Among our speeimens the same animal has been found to have twelve papilla- (characteristic 

 of gromlandica) in one row, and fifteen (characteristic of arcticu) in another. 



The species has been recorded from New England, Labrador, Greenland, Norway, Spit/bergc:), 

 between Nova Xombla and Franz .loscf Land, and the Kara Sea. 



9. PHYLLODOCE sp. 



A single specimen of a species of Phyllodoce, evidently not P. grwnlandica, but too much 

 mutilated for specific determination, was dredged near the station in about 3 fathoms.

We obtained males and egg-bearing females of a small species of Autolytus, which cannot be 

 more accurately identified, swimming free under the ice about the end of March and the first of 

 April, 1883. The "stem-form" was not obtained.

A fragment of a worm of this family, lacking both head and anal end, was obtained oft' the 

 station, in about 3 fathoms, August 7, 1883. The body segments agree very well in the shape 

 of the feet, gills, &c., with Hausen's figures, but as we Arere. unable to obtain the characteristic 

 hooked ventral seta 1 of the anterior region of the body, the species cannot be positively identified. 



It was originally described from near the island of Jan Mayen.
