y P. Clam , sp. nov. Worm minute, one to two inches long 
by iVin. to iVin. broad ; rings narrow, depressed, pale 
drab or greenish ; feet simple, bearing on the upper side 
ovate tumid branchiae, lying parallel to the body; near 
the base on the ventral side of the feet short obtuse lower 
branchial papillse are attached. Rings gradually tapering, 
and ending in an obtuse anal segment, which bears two 
clavate solid styles, larger than the branchiae. Head broad 
at the base, terminating in a thin ornithorhynchus-like snout, 
apex obtuse ; antennae four, short, divergent. First and 
second rings half as broad as the rest, giving attachment to 
four pairs of short tentacular cirri. I am doubtful about the 
the identity of this Annelid, as I have seen no figure of 
P. clavigera, Aud. and Ed. 
Rare, occupying vertical burrows in the sand, about half 
tide mark. 
\J Goniada Alcocltiana, sp. nov. Body tapering at both ends, 
anterior third terete terminating in a conical horn-like snout, 
posterior segments depressed, broader, channelled above, 
ending in two long jointed styles. Eyes, and tentacular 
cirri 0. Proboscis very long, clavate curved, on each side of 
the base are eight A-shaped dentacles, mouth armed with 
seven jaws. 
Body filiform, 1 \ inch long by a line wide, colour reddish 
brown ; heteromorphous, anterior rings to the 45th, very 
convex, narrow ; feet minute papillaeform. Lower two-thirds 
of the worm depressed, rather broader ; feet longer, oblique, 
from a dilated base, composed of four acute segments, the two 
outer shorter and divergent (branchial) ; each foot bears two 
fasciculi of bristles, the upper short curved, arising from the 
basal portion ; lower composed of long, white, falcate jointed 
bristles. Apex of the conical snout bearing four minute 
antennaj, when the proboscis is exerted it stands up like a
