136 Prof. M‘Intosh’s Notes from the 
four spots, also situated towards the posterior border of the 
segment, the outer on each side, generally the most con- 
spicuous, being thus between the feet. Posteriorly the two 
median show a tendercy to fuse, a pattern being by-and-by 
formed in the centre, whilst the lateral dark spots are as 
before. In some, three distinct bands are thus formed, 
as De St. Joseph * observes. 
A species which closely approaches the foregoing (Onuphis 
Grubei) comes from 92 fathoms on ‘* Adventure Bank 7” — 
the shallow between the eastern and western basins of the 
Mediterranean, and extends between the African coast and 
Sicily—in the ‘ Porcupine’ Expedition of 1870. 
In external appearance it presents certain differences. 
Thus there are eight of the anterior segments with nine 
prominent feet instead of five or six. The tentacles and 
their long ringed ceratophores, however, have similar 
outlines and proportions to those of O. Grubei. The frontal 
tentacles appear to be somewhat larger, but the palpi agree. 
The direction and proportions of the 1st foot agree with 
those of O. Gruber, and it carries a slender branchia on the 
dorsal cirrus. Dorsally are one or two simple tapering 
bristles, the wing of which is indistinct. A characteristic 
feature is present in the large inferior bristle, viz., the 
occurrence of two teeth below the bifid terminal region 
(Pl. XI. fig. 11). The pseudo-articulation of the tip and 
other features are similar to those in the more widely 
distributed form. 
At the 10th foot the dorsal cirrus carries a branchia con- 
siderably longer than itself. The setigerous region forms 
a small cone, whilst the ventral cirrus is represented by a 
large projecting granular pad. The bristles are simple 
tapering forms without distinct traces of wings, though in 
some further back (Pl. XI. fig. 12) these are indicated. 
The great hooks (PI. XI. fig. 14), which by-and-by appear, 
have a powerful chief fang and a smaller superior fang, pro- 
tected by wings. The middle of the hook is dilated. One 
of the feet from the middle of the body is shown in 
Pl. XI. fig. 14. 
In the ‘ Porcupine’ Expedition of 1869 an example of 
Eunice fasciata, Risso, was dredged in 80-110 fathoms 
on muddy sand with pebbles, probably off Valencia, though 
no Station is given. The same form-was obtained at 
Station 10 in 81 fathoms off Cape Finisterre in the Expedi-
