. Fig. 37. Platynereis magalhaensis. foot of epitocous $. Thirty-fifth St. 56 yielded four young specimens measuring about 7 mm. long, labelled "from carapace of Paralomis." I have examined two specimens labelled by Benham N. australis, Schmarda, from the Campbell Islands, but they throw little light on the question whether this species should be identified with P. magalhaensis, as Benham and Ramsay claim. The specimens are more massive than any examples of P. magalhaensis that I have examined. More- over, the buccal segment is very short, but this may be the result of improper fixation: the pedal languets are rather thinner and more pointed than is usual in P. magalhaensis, but in other respects they appear to be indistinguishable. This is a question that the examination of a large series of specimens alone can decide. Platynereis dumerilii (Audouin and Milne-Edwards). Fauvel, 1923, p. 259, fig. 141 «-/, with synonymy.
