EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Nereis virens, a fascinating marine creature. Created by W. C. McIntosh in 1910, this artwork is part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. McIntosh's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he captures the intricate features of this segmented polychaete worm. The illustration originated from an example found on West Sands, St Andrews, which was miraculously carried alive to Murthly. McIntosh's ability to accurately depict the specimen highlights his expertise in scientific observation and biological research. Plate LIII of Volume 2 A monograph of the British marine annelids serves as a testament to McIntosh's dedication towards documenting the diverse marine life inhabiting British coastlines. This valuable publication was released between 1873 and 1915, making it an invaluable resource for zoologists and biologists alike. Nereis virens, commonly known as king ragworm or sandworm, belongs to the family Nereididae and plays a vital role in coastal ecosystems. Its ribbon-like body adapts perfectly to its sandy habitat, allowing it to thrive along shorelines. This remarkable illustration not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also pays homage to William Carmichael McIntosh's significant contributions to marine biology research in Scotland during the late 19th century.
