506 DR. W. C. M'INTOSH ON THE ANNELIDA 



Like Tachy try pane, the two foregoing had the intestinal canal filled with fine Globi- 

 germa-vcmA. 



Travisia glandttlosa, n. sp. (Plate LXV. figs. 15, 16). 



From the same depth (1785 fathoms, Station 16) is a Travisia, which, while agreeing 

 in form, presents certain differences from the ordinary T. Forbesii, Johnst. The example 

 has been partially deprived of cuticle. The greater part of the basement tissue of the 

 body-wall is marked by prominent rows of punctures or dots, resembling those in the 

 Sipunculidee. In the central region a larger row runs transversely across each seg- 

 ment, towards the posterior border. In comparing these with similar specimens of 

 T. Forbesii, the markings are much more uniform in the latter ; and though here and 

 there a large papilla occurs, there is none of the uniformity characteristic of the new 

 form. The dotted appearance is caused by the projection of the papillae inward, as 

 observed in transverse section (PL LXV. fig. 16) ; and each has a tubular connexion 

 with the outer surface, like that noticed in the ventral papillae of Aphrodita and Her- 

 mione. The cirri near the tail are much shorter and less distinct than in T. Forbesii. 

 The specimen is so imperfect that some hesitation is felt in naming it ; but the structure 

 of its body-wall is very different when contrasted with T. Forbesii. 



Scalibbegma inplatum, H. U. A. fragmentary (small) example in 80 fathoms, out- 

 side Godhavn Harbour. 



Tbophonia pltjmosa, 0. P. Miiller. A fragmentary specimen, in 175 fathoms, off 

 Hare Island, Disco (Station 1). The inferior hooks have their points somewhat less 

 curved than in the ordinary British forms, and the mud- and pebble-coated warts are a 

 little coarser. 



Plabelligera. apfinis, Sars. Holsteinborg Harbour, 30 fathoms ; Godhavn Harbour, 

 5-20 fathoms. The specimens are considerably larger than those usually met with in the 

 British seas. 



Scolecolepis cirrata, Sars. Station 1, 175 fathoms ; Station 6, 410 fathoms. The 

 fragment is large. 



Prom the first-named station is also the anterior region of a form which resembles 

 the foregoing in general outline. The head, however, instead of presenting the pair of 

 large, brownish, and somewhat falcate eyes in front of the median (occipital) tentacle, 

 exhibits only two small brown specks, placed close together. The foliaceous dorsal 

 pinnse are also larger ; and no trace of branchiae occurs on the fragment, which con- 

 sists of about twelve segments. The bristles present no feature of interest. 



Scolecolepis (?) Jeffreysii, n. sp. Station 4, 20 fathoms, on shell-sand. This is repre- 

 sented by a fragment (about ^ of an inch in length) of the anterior end, and is closely 

 allied to Scolecolepis, but distinguished by the form of the snout, the arrangement of 

 the branchiae, and other particulars. The head (PI. LXV. fig. 13) is bluntly pointed 

 and divided into three regions by two antero-posterior curved lines, which are marked 

 with dark pigment posteriorly, and therefore very distinct. The central region is also 

 tinted with dark pigment posteriorly ; and in front of this is the short and somewhat 

 clavate tentacle, which has a constricted base, the whole rising from an elevated portion 

 of the snout. The body is flattened from above downward, and narrowed posteriorly
