25-i Mr. J. W. Pry do on Annelida rolychvta 



tubes were obtained oft' the coast of New York at the depth 

 of 1240 fathoms *, but, like those of the present collection, 

 they were empty. 



Family CirratnlidaB. 



Genus CHuETOZONE, Mahngren. 



Chcttozone norve(jica. 



At Station 41 B, lat. 50° 42' N., long. 0° 35' E., and at a 

 depth of 75 m., a small coin[)lete form about a quarter of an 

 inch in length was dredged. The feet, bristles, and general 

 body-characters are quite diagnostic of the species, and there 

 is nothing of outstanding interest about the form. The 

 bri.stles are very slender, finely tapered, and almost trans- 

 jiarent. The animal is not mature. 



This genus is usually found in deep water, while the genus 

 Cirratulus frequents shallower depths. In the ' Challenger ' 

 Report one member of the genus Chivlozone, viz. C/icetozone 

 heiit/ialiana, was found as deep as 1250 fathoms, while other 

 representatives were procured at depths varying from 400 to 

 700 fathoms. The species Chcetozone selosa described by 

 AJalmgren was found at a depth of 20-40 orgyiar. 



Family Spionidae. 



Genus SCOLECOLEPIS. 



Scolecolepis vulgaris, Johnston. 



This species is the only representative of the Spionidse. 

 The members of the family are found in greater number in 

 shallow water than in deep water, and in this present collec- 

 tion there are two fragments, each about 1 inch long, showing 

 neither head nor tail. The fragments were obtained in 

 haul 174 with a small trawl on 24th August, 1908, at 

 Station 19 a, lat. 60° 36' N., long. 4° 46' W., and at a depth 

 of 1030 m. This depth is the greatest which has as yet 

 occurred in the data of the hauls connected with the Hcotch 

 North Sea investigations ; but in the 'Challenger' Report 

 members of the family were dredged at depths ranging from 

 110-725 fathoms. In the account of this species given by 

 M'Intosh t no depth is given, and in Izuka's work on the 

 Errantiate Polychajta of Japan the Spionidie do not even 

 occur.
