The geographical range of this species, so widely separated from its allies 

 on the west coast of South America, will probably be widely extended on the 

 west European coast. It is a small species, living on a bottom of sand and 

 shells, or gravel, and would escape capture in the dredge, unless special 

 precautions were taken. The Clew Bay specimens were taken in a fine- 

 meshed tow-net attached to the back of the dredge, whilst those found in 

 Dingle Bay were obtained by carefully washing fine gravel. 



It is noteworthy that the Oligochaete Grania maricola Southern, which 

 was obtained on the same ground as Praegeria remota, has its nearest ally in 

 South Georgia, an island of South America. 



Habitat. — Clew Bay — Dredged on two occasions, in 24-27 fms., on a 

 bottom of sand and shells. Also dredged in Dingle Bay, 

 in 19-20 fms., on a bottom of fine gravel and sand.

Twelve specimens of this peculiar Phyllodocid were dredged in Clew Bay, 

 on a bottom of sand and shells. I have nothing to add to the descriptions 

 quoted above. 



Habitat. — Clew Bay — Dredged in 24 fathoms on a bottom of sand and 

 shells. 



Distribution. — Dinard ; Mediterranean (Marseilles, Saint-Raphael). 



Notophyllum foliosum (Sars).

 Habitat. — Clew Bay — Dredged on three occasions, in 16-28 fms. 

 Distribution. — British Isles ; Scandinavian coasts ; Gulf of Gascony ; 

 Marseilles ; Adriatic. 



Eulalia bilineata (Johnston). 



1908. Eulalia bilineoia. Mcintosh, p. 50. 



This species is very common in Laminaria roots, and in dredged material. 

 Mature specimens were found in May and September. 



Habitat. — Blacksod Bay — Found on the shore on eleven occasions. 



Dredged on six occasions in 1-8 fms. Clew Bay— Dredged 



on ten occasions in various parts of the bay, in 4-28 fms. 



Ballykakill Harbour — Dredged on five occasions, in 



1-8 fms. 

 Distribution. — British Isles ; Scandinavia ; Baltic ; Canaries.
