Publication
World Polychaeta Database (WPolyDb). Part 2 is included, and should not be confused with the article "On new tubicolous annelids, in the collection of the British Museum. Part 2." in the same volume, but published in an issue of 1865, the next year . However, Baird later may have been meaning this article as first part, as it covers the serpulids, and the next article continues with the sabellids.
Issue publication date: September 3, 1864, although the volume is for 1865.
[None. Introduction as:]
In the extensive collection of Annelides belonging to the British Museum, now in course of arrangement, there is a considerable number which appear to me to be undescribed. In many cases these are difficult to determine, from the fact that soft animals preserved in spirits do not always retain their form and consistence, or may be so hardened by the spirits as to offer great difficulties in making out the different parts. In the case of the Tubicolous Annelides, again, perhaps only the tubes or cases in which the animals dwell have been preserved, and thus it is almost impossible to refer them to their proper genera. As, however, notwithstanding these difficulties, we possess many species which can be determined, it is my intention, from time to time, to offer to the Linnean Society, if approved of, descriptions of such species as appear to me new or worthy of particular attention.
