W. 0. McIntosh enumerates 48 species of Annelids as obtained by 
dredging off the coasts of Northumberland and Durham. Tr. North. Durh. 
iv. pp. 118-120. 
A. Metzger enumerates 29 Chcetojjoda, 3 Ilirudiniy 4 Trematoda, 5 Ne- 
matoday and 1 Gephyrea as occurring off the coasts of E. Friesland. JB. 
Ges. Hannov. xx. pp. 83, 34. 
Arctic species met with during the ^Porcupine’ cruise of 1870 between 
the British Channel and Tunis : Thdepus circinatuSy Pista cristatay Tro- 
phonia glaucay TerebelUdes strce^niy Praxilla gracilisy P. prcp-termissay and Gly- 
cera capitata. Carpenter & Jeffreys, P. R. Soc. xix. pp. 163-175. 
On Lumbricidccy llydroiday &c. dredged in Lake Superior, cf. S. J. Smith, 
Am. J. Sci. (3) ii. p. 374. 
On a remarkable undetermined Annelid from Gourock, cf, D. Robertson, 
P. N. 11. Soc. Glasg. i. p. 9. 
P. J. VAN Beneden enumerates the worms and other parasites which have 
been recorded as infesting the various species of Cetacea. These are generally 
Echinorhynchi ; and cestoid worms in the intestines are very rare, if, indeed, 
they occur at all. Bull. Ac. Belg. xxix. pp. 347-368. 
Echinorhynchus pdlucidiis and Phyllobothrium ddphini were the only para- 
sites linown to infest the dolphins ; but a Delphinus ddphis recently dissected 
at the Paris Museum contained Phyllobothrium, Ascai'is simplex (known to 
infest the porpoise), Trichosoma sp. n.. Distoma sp., and a remarkable new 
genus and species. Phyllobothrium is at present the only parasite known to 
infest D. tursio. H. Gervais, C. R. Ixxi. pp. 779-781. For abstract, cf. Ann. 
N. II. (4) vii. p. 392. 
Monostomum foliaceum and Cyathoccphalus truncatus. On their anatomy, cf. 
O. Grimm, Z. wiss. Zool. xxi. pp. 499-604. M. foliaceum, though rightly 
placed with the Trematoda, is a transitional form with much affinity to the 
Cestoidea. If the species should be placed in a new genus, Grimm proposes 
the name Aridmostomum instead of Amphilina, Wagener. C. trwicatus 
appears to belong to the Bothriocephali, but to form a transition to the Ne- 
matoda. He proposes to alter the name Oyathocephalus to Monobothrium 
[but gives no reason for supplanting the accepted generic name of either 
species]. 
The recent works of Ehlers, Claparede, and Malmgren on Vermes noticed 
by E. Grube, SB. schles. Ges. xlvii. pp. 48-60. 
Some of the more interesting Annelida of the Channel Islands, &c., are 
noticed by W. C. MTntosh, who remarks specially on Prosorhochmus dapa- 
rediiy Kef., and Polynoe areolata. P. R. Soc. Edinb. vii. pp. 438-441.
