BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 
Autolytus varians — Continued. 
Vineyard Sound, abundant. — Verrill. Budding 
individuals may be found at any time of year, 
among hydroids on piles (particularly on 
Tubularia crocea), or dredged in and about 
Vineyard Sound. — Mensch. “It is not un- 
common to find it carrying five or six sexual 
individuals in various stages, one behind 
another.” — Verrill. The sexual worms are 
taken at the surface in the evening. 
Autolytus ornatus Verrill. 
Verrill, 1879, p. 170 (sp. nov.); i882d, p. 367; 
1884, p. 662. 
Vineyard Sound, at surface, July 13 and August 
28, 1875. — Verrill. Eastern end of Vineyard 
Sound, at Fish Hawk station 7768; 10 fathoms, 
stony bottom; one specimen*. Females filled 
with eggs taken in tow during the winter* 
(V. N. Edwards, col.). 
Autolytus cornutus Agassiz. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 590, 397, etc.; Bum- 
pus, 1898; 1898a; Mead, 1898. 
Vineyard Sound , low water to 15 fathoms; “con- 
structs cylindrical tubes which are attached 
to seaweeds and the branches of hydroids.” — 
Verrill. Woods Hole. — Bumpus. 
Frequently taken with eggs, March, 1898.— 
Bumpus. Mead and Bumpus likewise record 
the taking of “Autolytus" with eggs, during 
the months of April and May (species not speci- 
fied). Dr. Moore states that the stock forms 
are especially abundant among hydroids on 
piles, the sexual zooids, at the surface in the 
evening. 
Autolytus emertoni Verrill. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 590 ( Autolytus , spe- 
cies undetermined); Verrill, 1882b (figure 
only). 
Vineyard Sound, females filled with eggs taken 
in tow during winter and spring. — (V. N. 
Edwards, col.) 
Family Hesionid.^. 
Podarke obscura Verrill. 
Verrill and Smith ,1873, p. 589, 319, etc.; i882d, 
p. 370; 1884, p. 665; Treadwell, 1901, p. 399. 
Woods Hole. — Verrill. Eel Pond, very abun- 
dant. Western shore of Little Harbor. — 
Treadwell. This species, though common 
enough along shore, among eel grass and under 
stones, is not recorded from the survey dredg- 
ings. The sexually mature form may swim 
at the surface at night, “in vast numbers,” 
according to Verrill. 
Podarke obscura — Continued. 
Breeding season from July 1 to about August 20; 
eggs laid in the evening between 7 and 10 
o’clock; artificial fertilization possible, if the 
eggs have been naturally extruded, not other- 
wise. — Treadwell. 
Family Phyi.lodocid/h.

Woods Hole, at surface, evening, July 3. — Ver- 
rill. Tarpaulin Cove, and several records in 
Vineyard Sound, 6 to 13 fathoms. — Survey. 
Fish Hawk stations:* 7547 (1), 7724 (1). 
Phalarope station 26 (3)*. 
Phyllodoce sp. undetermined.

Woods Hole, in abundance in September (V. N. 
Edwards, col.). 
Eteone, sp. undetermined. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 589, record that “a 
small and slender species was dredged off Gay 
Head, in 19 fathoms, in soft mud.”

Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 585 (sp. nov.). 
Vineyard Sound. — Verrill. Vineyard Sound, at 
both ends, occasional; Buzzards Bay, at one 
station near Cuttyhunk; dredged in 6 to 14 
fathoms, on bottoms of sand, gravel, and 
stones. — Survey. Also recorded from Vine-
