In the course of this work I have re-examined the following material: (a) Monro, 1930, p. 87, as T. cavalli, from 'Discovery', St. 89, 1000-0 m. Monro reported four specimens, three of which are present in the (), (Reg. no. 1930, ) all of them in a state of bad preservation; two have a first pair of chaetigers, the larger, 15 mm. long for twenty- three parapodia, has a tail, and the other, 11 mm. long for twenty-one parapodia has hyaline glands. Neither of these can be T. cavalli, which was first described by Rosa (1907) without hyaline glands, or a tail, or a first pair of chaetigers. I think they are T. krampi Wesenburg-Lund (1936) (see below,.
