towards the posterior end, composed of about fifty articulations, each seo;nient being 

 Tery distinct, convex in the middle, and very much depressed at their junction with 

 each other; feel lobes obovate, with a bundle of rather short siifT bristles. At the base 

 of the foot-lobe is a narrow linear one Diiked. Proboscis similar to Nereis, criuison- 

 red. Head and the flat lobe-like antenuai white; the former sinnller than the first 

 sej^menl of the body ; the two anterior eyes are placed so as to be frequently obscured 

 by the anterior antennse when the proboscis is exserted ; the head is emarginate in 

 front, but when at rest it is rounded in front (see fi;;s. 1 and 5). Body rather pale 

 crimson-red and white, the articulations very distinct; the anterior tricornuted in 

 front and nearly as wide again as the following, somewhat depressed above, the most 

 convex or actual dorsal surface of each articulation has a white transverse line, so that 

 the body is alternately banded with white and crimson-red; the bundles of bristles in 

 the fool-lobes pale yellow. Length one inch. 

 Soulb coast of Devon ; rare. 



1. Head and first and second segments; 2. Segments in middle of body ; 3. Three 

 posterior segments; 4. Foot-lobe; 5. Head with proboscis protruded, and the lobes 

 pressed forward, showing also the emargination of the anterior when the proboscis is 

 extruded. 



I have named this genus as a slicht tribute of regard to Mr. H. D'Orville, who 

 Itindly placed Cidonel Montagu's MSS. and drawings in my hands. The beautiful 

 drawings were made by Mr. D'Orville's mother, many of which were transferred into 

 the Linnean Society's ' Transactions,' to illustrate Colonel Montagu's papers on the 

 animals of South Dexon.— Edward ParJiU; Devon and Exeter Institute, Exeter,

Notes on a Voyage round the World. By Benjamin T. Lowne, Esq. 



I. — Oceanic Birds. 

 In publishing the first of a series of papers on my observations 

 during my voyage and stay in Australia my only excuse is that the 

 observations were independent and original, and hence I hope 

 will possess some interest, if the facts stated are not altogether new,— 

 and 1 believe many are very well known,— yet they may be at least 

 new to some of my readers, or possess corroborative interest, so I have 

 at length been induced to publish the greater part of my uotes, which 

 had been consigned to oblivion for several years.
