Careful comparison of Griitin's notes, dramngs and material indi- 

 cates that eight of the twelve above named species were new to 

 science at time of publication. Six of these are common forms 

 which have been more fully described anatomically in my own 

 report (: 01) on the Nemerteans of Alaska. The other two {Amphi- 

 porus brunneits and A. drepanophoroides) cannot be referred to 

 any forms which have come into my hands, and miist stand as new 

 for the present. One other species (^E. hurgtri Coe), although 

 undescribed at the time, was incorrectly referred to E. violacewn 

 Burger. Three of the four remaining forms were correctly identi- 

 fied with European species, while the one species remaining, Linens 

 striatus^is possibly identical with 31. impressa (Stimpson), as stated 

 above. 



In 1901 the present writer published an extended report on the 

 Nemerteans collected on the Harriman Alaska Expedition of 1899. 

 This paper contains detailed descriptions of 32 species, of which 27 

 were thought to be new to science. The paper by Griffin, however, 

 antedates the above, and .5 of his species have ])riority over a simi- 

 lar number which were erroneously thoiight to be new. The 

 synonymy of these 5 species is given below. The report on the 

 nemerteans of the Harriman Expedition contains colored figures of 

 23 of the species described, and is accompanied by seven plates of 

 anatomical peculiarities. A single genus (Paranemektes), with 3 

 species, is described as new. Detailed anatomical descriptions are 

 given of nearly all of the 32 species enumerated. 



The geographical distribution of these forms is given in this 

 report as follows : 



Paleonemertka. 



1. Carinetla sperlnsn Coe {=^ rubra Griffin). Pacific coast of Alaska; 

 Vancouver Island, B.C.
