Eight polychaetan species are described here, three of which, viz., Burtinella concava (Sow.), Tubulostium callosum Stol. T. discoidium Stol., described by Stoliczka as gastropod species, are now transferred to the Polychaeta in the light of new information. Among the three species described here as new to science, one has for its proper placement, necessitated creation of the new genus, viz., Rotulispira falling under the subfamily Spirorbinae Chamberlin. Spirorbula Nielsen is repotted for the first time from South Indian Cretaceous. Family Terebellidae Grube represented by Terebellolites Desio, a heterogenous group, is also recorded for the first time from these deposits.
