It is seen that whilst commonly it occurred in the true Antarctic surface layer it may 

 also occasionally be found deep in the warmer intermediate layer. It was taken in the 

 Ross Sea by the ' Terra Nova V off Kaiser Wilhelm II by the ' Gauss ' 2 and off Adelie 

 Land by the 'Aurora'. 3 



Tomopteris septentriotialis, Quatrefages ex Steenstrup, was recorded only on the 

 eastern side of South Georgia in water of Weddell Sea origin, as follows: 



St. 130 N 100 H 1 at 77 m. St. WS 21 ... N 100 H 2 at 192 m. 



St. 137 N 100 H 2 at 132 m. St. WS 22 ... N 100 H 1 at 82 m. 



St. 137 N 70 H 32 at 120 m. 1 at 185 m. 



St. WS 20 ... N 100 H 2 at 190 m. St. WS 54 ... N 70 V 1 at 500-250111. 



This species is taken at both poles and is in fact cosmopolitan. It has previously been 

 taken in the Antarctic by the 'Terra Nova', 1 having found it abundant in the Ross Sea, 

 by the 'Gauss' 2 and by the 'Aurora'. 3 



The remaining Tomopteris spp. were unidentified and their numbers are recorded 

 in Appendix II. 



A number of specimens of Polychaeta were taken in the deeper hauls with the N 70 V 

 nets, as follows: 



Harmothoe benthophila, var. bimncronata, Fausch. 

 St. WS 70 ... 1 at 1000-750 m. 



In the deep water of the sub-Antarctic Zone, not an Antarctic species. 



Maupasia caeca, Viguier. 

 St. WS 70 ... 1 at 750-100 m. 



This species was taken in the Antarctic by the National Antarctic ('Discovery'), 4 

 ' Gauss' 2 and 'Terra Nova'. 1 



Phalacrophoriis pictits, Greeff. 

 St. WS 63 ... 1 at 500-250 m. 



This is the first time it is recorded from the Antarctic Zone.
