Tlio ventral division )ias sovon hooks and four capillarv 

 bristles, tlio two central bein*; longer and stouter than the 

 others. The laiuelhc have ion^, finger-shaped, ambcr- 

 colonred {glands. 



Tlic tail of ^I. o,ryr^/;//G/a in the examples from Ilcrm is 

 small, and has dorsally two short conical lobes, whilst l)e- 

 neath are about cij^ht smaller conical cirri, whereas in this 

 s])ccies there are bnt two jriirs of anal cirri. 



liesides the additional Spionids mentioned in the 

 ' Annals ' for January 1915, another form, viz., Mnrfeluna 

 rosea, Moore, has been dredj-ed by Mr. Southern in Killary 

 Harbour in mud. In this the pro><tomiiim and peristomium 

 are coalesced to form the l)roa(l ovoid head (iu spii-it), with 

 dorsal cephalic rid-^es taperinji;to acute points, which diverge 

 anteriorly. Peristomium with i)rominent lateral lobes ; ten- 

 tacular cirri arising latei'aily with papilhe, which increase in 

 length distally. Proboscis soft, bulbous, with parallel striie. 

 I?()(ly slender, depressed, tapering and subquadrate anteriorly, 

 40 mm. long; segments about ninety-five. Ninth bristled 

 segment with tapering simple bristles*. Pygidium small, 

 oblique, with anus dorsal, covered by a broad flat papilla, 

 and with posteriorly a pair of small slender cirri. Colour 

 translucent white, intestine buff or greenish brown, pharynx 

 salmon-pink. In sand at and below water. Nearly ripe iu 

 August. 



The larvre have been described by Fewkes as Frionnspi') 

 icfii/i-, from Newport, and by Andrews from Beaufort, N.C., 

 and Wood's Hole. 



Under the family of the (.^irratulidie, Cirraiidus c/iiajit, 

 M'Intosh, has been subsecpieutly described as Cirralulus 

 norvef/icus, De Quatrefages, but Delia Chiaje had long 

 bel'ore termed it Lumbiicus fHiyerus and Cirrutidus jUii/erus, so 

 that if prioiily held such would be its title. It is perhaps 

 doing no injustice to De Quatrefages or other author by 

 giving it the title C. chiujii after its early investigator. 



A form tei'ined Cirratuhis norvegicus in the 'Annals^ for 

 February 1911 t, has since that date been named Cirratulus 

 mcintushi hy Southern i, who found it in Inishlyre, 

 Killary, and Bofin harbours. It is interesting to find this 

 Norwegian species in British waters.
