Abstract
(1) PROF. BENHAM'S memoir of the Polychseta of the Antarctic (Terra Nova) Expedition, and on those of New Zealand, is important not only for the number of species (88), but also from the novelty of many and the able treatment by the experienced author. As shown in a former paper, the most numerous species are Terebellids, closely followed by the Syllids, then the Phyllo docids, Aphroditids, Sabellids, and Ampharetids. Of the total number of species, 33 were obtained off the northern coast of the North Island of New Zealand during the work of the Terra Nova there.
