of Fisheries steamer Albatross near 



the Hawaiian Islands in 1902 was 



destroyed by fire ; the remainder 



forms the basis of this report. 



There are enumerated 206 species, 



subspecies, and varieties belonging 



to 54 genera ; of these 5 species and 



2 subspecies are described as new.

The introduction gives a brief 

 account of Pacific annelids with a 

 list of species previously recorded, 

 also lists of families, known genera, 

 new genera, and species new to the 

 region, which are represented in the 

 Harriman collection. The syste- 

 matic discussion deals with the 



Bush, Katherine Jeannette — Cont'd, 

 tribes Sabellides and Serpulides. 

 Analytical tables for the genera are 

 given, and 15 new genera and 43 

 new species are described from the 

 Pacific. The genus Spirorbis is ex- 

 tensively dealt with, an annotated 

 list of known species is given, and 

 notes on many known species with 

 descriptions of four new Atlantic 

 forms. 



Based partly on material collected 

 by the U. S. Fish Commission in the
