Polydora (Leucodore) ciliata, with ova (1) : Young larvae of Polydora from a photomicrograph (2), Older stages (3-4), Somewhat more advanced (5-9), Egg-cases of polydora (10).
Seed scallops, with a small amount of white worm tube (Serpula) attached to the shell. These scallkops have not yet spawned, and, for the future welfare of the scallop fishery, should be protected until they have passed the spawning period, which occurs when the scallop is one year old. The capture of these immature scallops is a decided menace to the fishery, and is forbidden by law.

Local distribution of the polychaetous worm Clymenella torquata. This is likewise determined by the character of the bottom, but is almost the converse of that of Nereis pelagica, the present species being in a large degree restricted to a muddy habitat.
