Gatty Marine Laboratory, St. Andrews. 223 
Nephthys pansa, Ehlers *, was originally described from 
Station 45 of the ‘ Porcupine’ Expedition, 30th July, 1869, 
51° 1 N., 11° 24'.W., at a depth of 426-458 fathoms, and a 
bottom temperature of 8°35 Celsius. 
A specimen was procured by Canon Norman off Drébak, 
Christiania Fjord, in 30-100 fathoms. 
It is distinguished by its somewhat short proboscis, which 
has about four papille in each of the rows (22), and the 
structure of the feet. The latter present a narrow posterior 
lamella and a short conical dorsal cirrus, whilst the branchize 
in the anterior segments form short, flat, and broad lamella, 
but they diminish posteriorly to small processes, so that the 
feet approach those of N. incisa, Mgrn. The proboscis has 
no long median papilla as in N. ciliata. The capillary 
bristles are boldly curved and strongly serrated, and the 
barred or camerated bristles have the usual structure. 
The Phyllodocide are represented by the generally dis- 
tributed Phyllodoce grenlandica, Cirsted, Humida sanguinea, 
Cirsted, by the less. common WNotophyllum polynoides, 
Cirsted, Genetyllis lutea, Malmgren, Hteone fucata, Sars (?), 
and the rarer Mysta barbata, Malmgren, and Sige fusigera, 
Malmgren, the last being, indeed, a characteristically 
northern form. 
Only two of the Hesionide were obtained, viz. Ophio- 
dromus vittatus, Sars, and Castalia punctata, O. F. M., both 
finely coloured species, especially the former. 
4, On Canadian Phyllodocide. 
The specimens were dredged by Mr. Whiteaves, now of 
the Geological Survey of Canada, from 1871-1873. 
Besides those subsequently noted, the ubiquitous Phyllo- 
doce grenlandica, Cirsted, was most abundant, large 
specimens occurring 15 miles 8.8.E. of Bonaventure Island 
and on Bradelle Bank. There were also a form near Phyllo- 
doce laminosa, Savigny, and another species which differs 
both from this species and P. grenlandica. Three species of 
Eteone are present, viz. a form near L. lentigera, Malmgren, 
Eteone spetsbergensis, Mgrn., and another which approaches 
the E. cinerea, of Webster and Benedict. One specimen of 
E. spetsbergensis, from Bradelle Bank, had, about the 52nd 
foot on the left, an elongate-ovoid white crustacean parasite 
fixed firmly in the sulcus between two feet. The flask- 
shaped body is smooth, but dorsally (in regard to the annelid) 
a transversely elongated brownish area occurs, and internally
