Poly dor a anoculala Moore. 
Moore, 1907, p. 197 (sp. nov.). 
“ Uncommon . Usually taken in association with 
colonies of Amaroecium pellucidum in 7 to 17 
fathoms in Vineyard Sound. Less often on 
piles among Cynthia in Little Harbor and with 
Polydora colonia at Vineyard Haven. A 
specimen taken on July 14 contained nearly 
mature eggs.” 
Polydora colonia Moore. 
Moore, 1907, p. 199 (sp. nov.). 
Vineyard Haven, on piles, among sponges and 
tunicates, forming large colonies of “soft mu- 
coid tubes. ’ ’ Specimens containing large eggs 
were noted in July. 
Polydora litlorea Verrill. 
Verrill, 1873, p. 603, 345 (Polydora ciliatuml). 
Naushon Island, in muddy sand, at about half 
tide. — A. Agassiz. Young frequently taken in 
tow nets. — Verrill. Very common on muddy 
shores. — Moore. Great Pond* (E. D. Congdon, 
col.). 
Polydora sp. undetermined. 
Fish Hawk station 7769 (1)*; Phalarope station 
77 (2)*; shore at Tarpaulin Cove, sandy beach.* 
Family MagKi.onid.E 
Magelona rosea Moore. 
Moore, 1907, p. 201 (sp. nov.). 
“This species has been found only on a sandy 
beach, chiefly below low water, in a little 
shallow bay on the Buzzards Bay side of 
Woods Hole. Prof. E- A. Andrews found it at 
the same place about ten years before it came 
to my notice, and has described a specimen 
under the name of M. papillicornis Muller. 
The remarkable larvae have been described by 
Fewkes (as Prionospio tenuis) from Newport, 
and by Andrews from Beaufort, N. C., and 
Woods Hole. ” 
Family Ch^topterid^3. 
Chcetopterus pergamentaceus Cuvier. [Chart 67.] 
Verrill, 1882b, p. 370; 1884, p. 665; Mead, 1897, 
p. 271. (Strangely omitted from Verrill and 
Smith’s Invertebrates of Vineyard Sound.) 
Naushon Island. — Verrill. In Buzzards Bay, 
tubes (never containing worms) were fre- 
quently brought up by the dredge, particu- 
larly in the upper half and at inshore stations, 
occurring at depths of 2 to 8 (once at 12) fath- 
oms, on various bottoms, though relatively 
more common in mud ; not recorded from the 
Sound. — Survey. Hadley Harbor. — Moore, 
Treadwell. Ram Island; shore of Woods Hole 
Chcetopterus pergamentaceus — Continued. 
Harbor in front of Marine Biological Labora- 
tory supply department building. — G. M. 
Gray. ■ Mr. Gray notes that this worm is par- 
ticularly common among the roots of eelgrass, 
where it may readily be dug up after mowing 
down the latter with a scythe. On the shoal 
between Ram Island and Devils Foot, 13 
specimens were thus obtained in the course 
of a few hours by J. F. McClendon and C. B. 
Bennett.

Eggs taken from the body of the female during 
July and August may be artificially fertilized — 
Mead, Treadwell. Commensal crabs of the 
genus Pinnixa are of frequent occurrence in 
the tubes of this worm. 
Spiochcetopterus oculatus Webster. [Chart 68.] 
Buzzards Bay, chiefly in lower half; two records 
from Vineyard Sound; dredged in 3 to 17 
fathoms, chiefly in mud or mixtures of mud 
and sand. — Survey. This worm lives in a 
slender, quill-like tube, marked by numerous 
annular thickenings, and buried upright in the 
mud. — Moore.
