The Norwegian fjords have long been classic grounds to 
the investigator of the Annelids, chiefly from the labours of 
the elder and younger Sars, but also of Hansen, Appelléf, 
and others; and accordingly the collection possessed great 
interest, especially by way of contrast with those of the 
British seas. Amongst other features of note is the compara- 
tive frequence of Huphrosyne cirrata, Sars, and EL. armadillo, 
Sars, both of which seem to frequent the deeper water of the 
fjords, whereas the common British form is found most 
abundantly between tide-marks in the Channel Islands. 
Only small examples of Aphrodita aculeata and Letmatonice 
filicornis, Kinberg, occur, probably because the area of the 
larger forms had been untouched. In the same way the small 
size of the specimens of the ubiquitous Lepidonotus squamatus, 
L., contrasted with the large tidal forms of the east coast of 
Scotland. No more characteristic inhabitants of the fjords 
could be procured than Dasylepis asperrima, Sars, and 
Eucrante villosa, Mgrn., both of which were in fine condition 
and apparently by no means rare. ‘he former has hitherto 
been tound in Britain only in the Clyde district (Dr. David 
Robertson), while the latter is unknown in our seas. The 
frequency of Lagisca antennata, Grube, and of the British 
Evarne Johnstoni, Mcl., merit notice, for the latter is one of 
the rarest forms from deep water in our country. Moreover, 
by the aid of additional specimens it became evident that 
another form procured along with the foregoing in the 
‘ Porcupine’ Expedition of 1870 merits special notice, if not 
specific distinction. In Hvarne Johnstoni, Mcl.*, the eyes 
are distinctly smaller than in 4. dmpar, Johnst., and the
