The specimens are in fragments. Although I identify it with this 
iarge species, which is already recorded from our shores, the specimen 
differs in coloration from that usually described, for these specimens 
are pale-brown (in formalin), with very dark purplish-brown spots 
and splashes of irregular form, size, and arrangement, not only on the 
dorsal surface, but, in less numbers and of smaller size, on the ventral 
surface; nor is there the characteristic white band on the fourth 
segment. But in all structural characters it agrees with Pallas’s 
species, which has a very wide distribution. 
Localities —EKast of Shag Point, 30-40 fathoms, fine sand; E.N.E. 
of Whale Island (North Island), 25-34 fathoms, sand and mud.

It is with some hesitation that I refer the worm described below 
to this species, from which, indeed, it differs in one character. But, 
as the species was obtained off the East Cape and nowhere else, it is 
not improbable that the difference is of little importance; so I will 
give a full account of the external features of the present worm. 
I have come to the same conclusion as Dr. Willey, and am unable 
to find any justification for the retention of Johnston’s genus Northia 
—or, as Malmgren and McIntosh prefer to write it, Nothria. 
The worm inhabits a thick-walled tube composed of fine grey 
mud. 
A complete individual measures 74mm. in length, with 170 seg- 
ments, and 5 mm. across the parapodia.
