Lepidonotus giganteus, sp. n., Kirk (48). 
Has well (47) describes as new : — Amphinome nitida and prcelonga, Noto- 
pygus flavus and parvus, Chloeia macleayi, Euphrosyne master si. 
G. A. Hansen, N. Mag. Naturv. xxiv., records as spp. nn. from the 
North Seas : — Polynoe arctica, p. 267, pi. i. figs. 1-5, Aricia arctica, p, 269, 
pi. ii. figs. 1-8, and Myriochele danielsseni, p. 270, pi. ii. figs. 9-11. 
The branched Syllis, S. ramosa, described by McIntosh (53) was found 
in a Hexactinellid Sponge, dredged near Cebu ; no head was observed ; 
• the body of the animal “ appears to have a furor for budding,” these buds 
give oif other buds, and the tail, or distal point, is early formed ; their 
number seems to be indefinite. 
McIntosh (Phil. Tr. clxviii. pp. 258-263, pi. xv.) describes Hermadion 
longicirratus, Eupolynoe mollis. Nereis eatoni, Amphitrite kerguelenensis, 
Neottis antarctica, Serpula sp., Lineus corrugatus, from Kerguelen.
