The annelids on which this paper is based were collected from June to September, 1879, by the Summer Zoological Expedition of Union College. Of the 90 species found, by far the greater number live between tides. Not much dredging was done, and none at a greater depth than thirty fathoms. Two visits to, Wellfleet procured a number of forms not found at Provincetown. Three genera and sixteen species are described as new. Of the genera, Thaumastoma seems not to belong to any described family. Eighteen species have their northern limit extended, having been previously found only to the south of the Cape. Nerilla antennata Schmidt and Trichobranchus glacialis Malmgren are European forms not previously found on our coast. Syllides Oersted is also new to our coast, and is represented by a new species. Capitella capitata has not previously been reported from the United States, though found further north. The figures, except figs. 95—97, were made by H. E. Webster.
