DISCOVERY REPORTS 



GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION 



BENTHIC SPECIES 



Although the present collection was obtained from positions as widely separated as 

 off Peru, West Africa and New Zealand, much the greater part of the benthic material 

 came from two areas, the South Georgia area which for the present purposes includes 

 South Georgia, South Sand^\■ich Islands, South Orkneys, South Shetlands, Palmer 

 Archipelago, Bellingshausen Sea, and the Falkland Islands area which includes the 

 Falkland Islands and between the Falkland Islands and South America. 



The colder water Polychaete fauna of the South Georgia area is not the same as that 

 round the Falklands, although there is considerable overlapping. 



The bentliic species fall into the following groups according to the areas in which 

 they were found :
