Dear Colleagues,
You might find interesting a detailed set of observations and notice
linking swarming Odontosyllis enopla with the mysterious lights seen by
Columbus:
Crawshay LR
1935 Possible bearing of a luminous syllid on the question of the
landfall of Columbus. Nature 136:559-560 (Oct. 5th, 1935).
Another possibility, if those sightings were closer to Caribbean
localities, is the swarming of Odontosyllis luminosa San Martin 1990. The
paper is:
San Martin G
1990 Eusyllinae (Syllidae, Polychaeta) from Cuba and Gulf of
Mexico. Bulletin of Marine Science 46:590-619
Best wishes,
Sergio
