tion of 1870, and again off Cape Guardia. Eunice vittata, 
Delle Chiaje, was dredged in 92 fathoms on Adventure Bank, 
and in 45 fathoms off Cape Sagres in the Expedition of 1870. 
A form allied to Hunice pennata, O. F. M. (= E. norve- 
gica, L.), was dredged in 539 fathoms on the Channel slope 
(Station 9) in grey mud in the ‘ Porcupine’ Expedition of 
1870. The chief points of divergence from the Norwegian 
examples are the more distinct eyes, the commencement of 
the brauchiz as a minute process on the 4th foot, and their 
cessation about the 34th foot. The small branchial process 
becomes bifid on the 6th foot, and continues more or less 
bifid to the 28rd foot, and ceases about the 34th foot. The 
shape of the foot also differs, and the separate small spines 
for the dorsal cirrus are more distinct. The two large brown 
spines of the setigerous region are longer and project more, 
and the ventral cirrus is longer. The dental apparatus 
agrees in appearance, colour, and structure with that of 
E. pennata. 
Eunice Jeffreysii, sp. n. 
Habitat. Dredged in 30 fathoms in Tangiers Bay on 
2nd July, 1870. In the bottle beside it was a portioi of 
the membranous tube, like that of a Terebellid, covered with 
minute sand-grains, fragments of shells, spines, and similar 
calcareous structures. 
The head is distorted in the preparation by the extrusion 
of the proboscis, but it has a marked fissure between the

region of Eunice Jeffreys. Enlarged.

they are remarkable for their slenderness. Two small but
