None: Begins "The identification and description of the marine Annelids from our shores was undertaken by the veteran zoologist Dr. E. Ehlers, of Gottingen University, some years ago, and for that purpose I sent him representatives of all the species that I had collected up to that date. To this list I added a few more species as a result of the study of material obtained during the trawling expedition of the S.S. " Nora Niven" and during the expedition to the subantarctic islands. I hope to add to our knowledge of the group from time to time as I work out the large amount of material which I have accumulated in recent years. On the present occasion I wish to make some remarks on three of the species described by Ehlers, for, as a result of an examination of more abundant material than was available to him, I have come to a somewhat different conclusion on certain points which affect the nomenclature. After having found that I was unable to agree with Dr. Ehlers in regard to these points I wrote to him on the subject; and he was good_enough to reply to me to the effect that, as I had at my disposal more extensive series of specimens than he had, he was prepared to accept most of my conclusions."
