ANNELIDA. 
Nephtys is called white-bait often (on account of its silvery appearance) 
here ; it is used for hand-line fishing ; the lug being considered good 
enough for the long lines, at least according to the one fisherman’s 
report.

Aug. 26, 1844. A very handsome Aphrodite-looking species dredged 
to-day by Mr. Hyndman off Castle Chichester, Belfast Bay, was brought 
to me. It was taken about a mile from the shore on shelly ground in 
from six to ten fathoms water. Being soon after capture sent to Dr. 
Johnston, it proved as new to him as to myself, and was left at Berwick 
for him to notice until lately, when, in consequence of his having ceased 
to study the Annelides, it was returned to me. Professor Allman then 
kindly undertook its examination, and determined it to be this Euphro- 
syna. The specimen is an inch in length ; the size attributed to the spe- 
cies by M. Edwards. Two others, differing only in being smaller, were 
last year purchased by Dr. R. Ball (of M‘Calla), but it was not stated on 
what part of the coast they were procured. This is the first record of the 
genus Euphrosyna inhabiting the British seas. M. Edwards’s specimens 
were taken on oyster-banks in the two neighbouring localities of St. Malo 
and between Granville and Chausey ; in the latter locality, a league and 
a half from the shore, and at the depth of fifteen fathoms.
