164 Prof. M‘Intosh’s Notes from the 
This form comes near the Drilonereis longa of H. E. 
Webster *, from the Virginian coast, though the concavity at 
the anterior border of the first segment and certain details 
of the dental apparatus differ. How much such differences 
are due to imperfection in figures is an open question. 
It approaches the Drilonereis Elisabethe of the British 
seas, though differing in details of the dental apparatus, in 
the broader wings to the less tapered bristles, in the shape of 
the head, and in the presence of the crescentic hollow at the 
anterior border of the first segment. 
3. On Norwegian Kunicide collected by Canon Norman, 
D.C.L., F.RS. 
The Eunicide in this collection are in considerable numbers 
and of much interest, were it enly for comparison with the 
British representatives. Onuphis conchylega, Sars, is not 
uncommon, yet O. quadricuspis, Sars, does not appear in the 
series, though it stretches to the shores of Canada and was 
formerly procured in Norwegian waters. The examples of 
Hyalinecia tubicola are of medium size and show the occa- 
sional occurrence of a tentacular cirrus as an abnormality. 
The most abundant Eunicid is Eunice pennata, O. F. M., and 
several varieties occur. Amongst these is a small series in 
which the branchiz commence on the 38rd foot. A single 
branchial filament is on the 8th foot, whilst the 12th branchia 
has 4 divisions, the 20th has 6 or 7, and the 30th 5 divisions, 
whilst the last, on the 39th foot, is a simple process as in 
front. The highest number of divisions observed was 10. 
This form seems to abound on shell-gravel, and it constructs 
tubes. Hunice amphihelia, Roule, is likewise common in its 
parchment-like tubes. Lastly, Lumbriconereis fragilis, O. F. 
Miller, is very generally distributed and of average size. 
Besides the foregoing, six or seven fragments pertaiming to 
the group were dredged.
