ALITTA VIRENS (M. Saks). 
A specimen of this Polychset w r as sent on February 8th by 
Mr. John S. Wood, Bill Quay — about seven miles from the 
mouth of the Tyne. It was found alive in the shipyard about 18 
months before, after an exceptionally high tide. Mr. Wood said 
that when it was crawling about it stretched itself to 3 feet in 
length. Preserved, it measures about 18 inches. I beg to thank 
Prof. McIntosh, St. Andrews, for his kindness in confirming my 
determination of the species. Since this specimen was obtained, 
Mr. E. P. Witten, B.Sc., got another at Sunderland which measures 
about 10 inches, preserved.
