AUSTRALASIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 
Of the six species in the collection, Exogone anomalochceta is new; which with 
Autolytus chcircoti and Pioncsyllis comosa is limited, so far as is known, to the region. 
The atokous and both sexes in the epitokons phases of Autolytus were met with. 
Splice rosiyllis mcintoshi passes northwards beyond this region to Kerguelen and South 
Georgia. Trypanosyllis gigantea occurs in the Magellan area, and Syllis clostero- 
branchia passes beyond the Sub-antarctic region into the Southern Temperate zone 
to West Africa and to New Zealand. 
Family APHRODITIDAE. 
Hitherto twelve species have been noted as occurring in the Antarctic, of which 
five are found in the present collection, and two additional species are to be recorded 
as entering the region. Of these seven species Enipo rhoynbigera, Hermadion rouchi 
and Harmothoe tuberosa are confined to the region. H. spin os a, a very common worm 
here, is also met with in the sub-antarctic area. Lcetmonice producta is the most 
widely distributed, passing northwards in the Atlantic to the West Coast of Ireland, 
and up through the Pacific to the J apan coast. 
Idle two additions to the Antarctic fauna are Euyioa abyssorum, which is known 
elsewhere only in deep water to the south east of Australia ; and Eulagisca corrientis 
ranges up the east coast of South America as far as Buenos Ayres. 
F dmily PHYLLOB OCIML 
This family is represented in the region by sixteen species, three of which occur 
in the “ Aurora” gatherings. Of these Eulalia charcoti, Eteone regi, and Pelagobia 
viguieri are confined to the Antarctic ; and two new species have to be added to the 
list, namely, Pterocirms Mclcani, and Pt. hunteri. The fifth is Phyllococe madeirensis, 
whose specific name would scarcely lead us to expect it in these waters, yet it has 
already been recorded from Cape Adare as well as from South Georgia and Juan Fer¬ 
nandez. Fauvel has suggested, in explanation of the wide distribution of this and some 
other species, that it descends in the equatorial regions to great depths, and passing 
southwards reappears in the colder waters at less depths. 
Family ALCIOPIYhF. 
The only species observed is Vanadis ant <rctica, which has a world-wide range 
through the oceans, as one would expect from its pelagic habit. 
Family TOMOPTERIDAE. 
The only species which have been collected in Antarctic seas are the two species 
included in the present report, namely, T. carpenteri, the history of which will be 
found detailed in the systematic portion, and T. septentrionalis, which has recently 
been recorded by Gravier from the Weddell Quadrant.
