Abstract
IN his very interesting article on the ” Possible Bearing of a Luminous Syllid on the question of the Landfall of Columbus” in NATURE of October 5 (p. 559) L. R. Crawshay mentions the swarming of Odontosyllis phosphorea, Moore, in this neighbourhood. He refers to the observations made by Potts1 in 1911, from which it was inferred that there was a periodicity in the appearance of the swarming forms of the species in Departure Bay, and that this could be correlated with the phases of the moon.
