KINNER and MAURER: POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS OF DELAWARE BAY 



wide salinity and depth range appears to be highly 

 doubtful and emphasizes the need for more defini- 

 tive taxonomic work in some of the errant, and in 

 particular, the sedentary polychaete families. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We thank Wayne Leathern for his help with 

 some of the polychaete identifications, Jeff 

 Tinsman for his invaluable assistance in the field, 

 and Tom White for his help in sample collection. 

 April Morris was extremely helpful in the prep- 

 aration of this paper. This manuscript benefited 

 greatly from numerous suggestions and improve- 

 ments by Roland Wigley, Kristian Fauchald, 

 David Dean, Daniel Dauer, and Meredith Jones. 

 To Marian Pettibone we owe a special thanks for 

 her helpful criticism and her large contribution to 

 the taxonomic portions of this paper. Her knowl- 

 edge and resources greatly improved the content 

 of the paper.
