the back of the prostomium. I have failed to find anything like this linear longitudinal 
ridge in any Syllids figured by Elders, Gravier, or other authors. 
On the ventral surface, the prostomium is notched on its hinder margin and the 
borders are deeply pigmented. The anterior segments of the body are provided with 
large ventral glandular pads as in the atokous phase ; and in the pale-coloured reddish 
individuals, these are very conspicuous owing to their opaque whiteness. 
Locality of Atokous forms.—• 
Boat Harbour, surface 3| fathoms (three specimens); and Commonwealth 
Bay, 25 fathoms (four). 
Locality of Epitokous phases.—■ 
Boat Harbour “ taken in hand-net at the surface,” on 8, VII, 12 ; 7, IX. 
12 and 14, IX, 12. 
Distribution. —Port Charcot (Gravier).

Seventeen individuals of this handsome annelid were obtained. It has been 
so fully described by McIntosh that nothing more need be said of it here.
