POLYNOE CiRRATA. 
Aphrodita cirrata, Faun.Groin., No. 290. 
Two specimens were taken on the shore of Melville Island in September. 
PoLYNOE ScABRA. 
Aphrodita scabra, Faun. Green. No. 292. 
A single specimen was taken on the shore of Melville Island in the same 
month as the preceding. 
Loligo Sepiola. 
t 
An individual of this species was brought up in the trawl on the west coast 
of Davis’ Strait, in lat. 70°. It agreed with the general description of au- 
thors, and with the figure in Rondelet, 519. 
Clio Borealis. 
■ ttti - \ 
This well-known species was found in great abundance in all parts of Baffin’s 
Bay, and Davis’ Strait, in the neighbourhood of ice. 
Limacina Arctica. 
Abundant in the same localities as the preceding; both species were 
very rarely met with in the Polar Sea ; and as they constitute the principal 
tbod of the black whale, their absence will explain why not more than two 
or three whales were seen during the whole period in which the Expedition 
remained in that sea.
