Abstract
A SUB-LITTORAL faunistic survey of the Scottish west coast has recently produced specimens of the genus Siboglinum from 55–62 fathoms in the North Minch about 8 miles east of Lewis. Siboglinum has been found in deep water in the north-east Atlantic and an undescribed species has been recorded from 80–90 fathoms off the west coast of Ireland by Southward1, but Pogonophora were not previously known from inside British coastal waters.
