40-43 fathoms, fine sand; E.N.E. of Oamaru, 35 fathoms, ooze; off

Family GONIADIDA.

Goniada eximia Khlers. 
Goniada eximia Ehlers, Die Polycheten d. magell. u. chilen Strandes, 
1901p. 157) plisce: figs. 117: 
Station 83 (or 30). 
Locality—Either off Cape Kidnappers, 68-78 fathoms, soft mud, 
or off Oamaru. 
The specimen differs slightly from Ehler’s account of those obtained 
off Tierra del Fuego, in that, instead of only four angulated micro- 
gnaths on each side of the base of the everted pharynx, I find about 
twenty. It has been suggested by Ehlers that the number may de- 
pend upon age, as some of his specimens had none at all. And I do 
not feel justified in making a new species on such a small difference...

This worm, identified by Ehlers, from specimens forwarded to him 
by me, as the common terebellid of European shores, is not uncommon 
on sandy beaches in New Zealand.
