The following paper is a taxonomic study of three collections of 

 polychaetous annelids. The first was made by myself in 1920 on' 

 an expedition to the Pacific of the department of marine biology of 

 the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Dr. A. G. Mayor, director. 

 Collecting was done in and around the harbor of Suva, Fiji, and in 

 the harbor of Pango Pango, on the Island of Tutuila, in American 

 Samoa. A description of the Leodicidae of this collection appeared 

 in 1922. (Treadwell, 1922.) A second lot is from Japan and a 

 third from China, the two latter having been sent me for study by 

 Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt of the United States National Museum. All 

 specimens noted as collected by N. Gist Gee are from China and the 

 only locality information further than this is what is indicated in 

 the description of the species. For the others " Japan " is the ex- 

 tent of my information.
