. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. NEMERTEANS 283 lateral nerves are included among them and not pressed against the body wall. The rhynchocoel extends to the posterior end of the body. Its wall consists of interlaced fibres. The proboscis is very stout and the number of nerve strands varies between 22 (N 160), 24 (N 168), 25 (N 164) and 26 (N 167). The brain is of fair size and con- forms to the description given by Brinkmann (1917). N 160 and 164 were female. Small eggs could be seen close beside the lateral nerves (Fig. 59B).
