None. Begins "The Polygordian which I have particularly studied occurs at the point of Beg-Mell, near Concarneau, where I discovered it during the spring-tides of April. It lives in a coarse shell-sand, like that which covers the tubes of Terebella conchilega. By sifting this sand through the fingers one may collect a great number of the Polygordii in a few minutes. The species, which I believe to be new, belongs to the same group as Polygordius lacteus, Schneider, and P. Villoti, Perrier a group characterized by dioeciousness, the length of the body, the circle of anal glands, &c. Several months before Perrier, M'Intosh had described, under the name of Limnotrypane [sic] apogon, an Annelid which he has since thought he could identify with P. Villoti. It is quite certain that Limnotrypane [sic] is a Polygordian; and as it seems to me necessary to divide up the genus Polygordlius, I propose, in order to avoid complicating the nomenclature, to apply the name Limnnotrypane to the dioecious Polygordians, retaining the name of Polygordius for the hermaphrodite species of small size and of more archaic characters."
