| Summary: | Nine species of Polychaeta collected off the coast of British Columbia are recorded. Two of these (Micromaldane ornithochaeta and Notomastus lineatus var. balanoglossi) have not been reported previously outside Europe, one (Asychis biceps) is new to the west coast of North America, and four are new to British Columbia. Six species are recorded from the neighborhood of Herschell Island in the western Canadian Arctic. All are new to that region, though known from further western seas, and, in three cases (Melaenis loveni, Antinoella sarsi, and Nephthys malmgreni) from the western Canadian Arctic further east. |
