help in the transfer of the coUection. Some type material of the 

 Berkeley species had been set apart from the general collection 

 However, a good deal of type material, including syntypes and para- 

 types, was not so segregated. 



The purpose of this paper is to indicate the change in the location 

 ot the Berkeleys' material from their private coUection to that of the 

 U.b National Museum and to provide some pertinent information 

 on the type material. 



For each of the species described by the Berkeleys, I have given 

 the origmal reference; subsequent references to that species by the 

 Berkeleys are also Hsted. I have also included selected references to 

 pubhcations of other authors, in which additional figures or descrip- 

 tions may be given, or in which the Berkeley species are referred to 

 other genera or species. The type material is documented by the 

 Museum Catalog Number (USNM), the locahty, and number of 

 specimens. In extracting type material from the general collection 

 1 have been guided by the date and information given in the original 

 reference. Type material was found for all but two species Prio- 

 nospio mulhbranchiata E. Berkeley, 1927, and Caulleriella 'viridis 

 v&T. pacifica E. Berkeley, 1929. Dr. R. W. Sims of the Annehd 

 Section at the British Museum (Natural History) kindly furnished 

 me with the list of polychaetes given to the British Museum by Edith 

 Berkeley. The syntypes and paratypes (referred to as cotypes) 

 of the Berkeley species that are deposited in the British Museiun are 

 so indicated (BMNH). 



A complete list of the papers dealing with polychaetes by Edith 

 Berkeley, by Edith and Cyiil Berkeley, and by Cyril Berkeley is 

 mcluded, together with a list of the new taxa described in each paper 

 1 wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Cyril Berkeley for his 

 gilt of the Berkeley collection to the Smithsonian Institution and for 

 his help m making what might have been a rather tedious task of 

 ^ansferring a large collection, such a pleasant one. My sister Mrs 

 Katherme Swanson was particularly helpful, far beyond the call of 

 duty, m serving as typist and general helper.
