Moseley to be a young individual of P. Rollestoni , is manifestly

Artacoma proboscidea , Malmgren. — Grube (“ Anneliden-Aus- 
beute von S.M.S. ‘ Gazelle,’ ” Monatsbericht d. 7c. ATcad. d. 
Wiss ., Berlin, 1877) records this northern species from Ker- 
guelen. Murray, in a footnote {Trans. Roy. Soc. Edin., xxxviii. 
445), points out that “ his specimens possibly belong to A. chal- 
lengerii , M‘Intosh, which seems to be very frequent in Kerguelen 
waters.” M‘Intosh {Cliall. Rep., “Annelida,” p. 477) points out 
various differences between the northern and southern species, and 
cites Kinberg as an authority for the occurrence of the latter also 
at Rio de Janeiro. 
Eunice Oerstedi , Stimpson. — Of this species, to which Dr 
M‘Intosh assigns a mark of interrogation in identifying it with 
Stimpson’s original description, a single specimen is said to have 
been taken by the “Challenger” in 1240 fathoms off the coast of 
New York, another smaller one in 85 fathoms somewhat further 
north off the coast of Nova Scotia, while several small specimens 
about 90 mm. in length are recorded from 69 fathoms off Marion 
Island. M £ Intosh calls attention {Rep., p. 273 et seq.) to several 
minor differences between these latter and the former examples. 
He states that “in the foreign (southern) example, the branchia of 
the 10th foot has two divisions, that of the 20th four, the 30th 
four, and the 40th none,” and adds, “this Eunice seems to come 
near the E. Oerstedi of Stimpson, the chief difference being the 
number of divisions in the branchiae, which Stimpson states is five.” 
He further calls attention to the close resemblance of the form to 
E. norvegica (L.) and also to E. macrochceta, Schmarda, from the 
southern shores of Jamaica. 
Eupista Darwini, MTntosh. — Trawled in 2225 fathoms, lat. 34° 
7 ' S., long. 73° 56' W., off the west coast of America south of Val- 
paraiso. The existence of this form in the northern hemisphere 
rests upon “ a softened fragment closely approaching the fore- 
going,” trawled in 2750 fathoms in mid-Atlantic, lat. 35° 29' N., 
long. 50° 53' W., midway between the Azores and Bermuda. 
MTntosh {Chall. Rep., “Annelida,” p. 459) states that in this latter 
specimen “ the characters of the cephalic region are indistinguish-
