532 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.iob 



The polychaete fauna of Labrador is known only from a few 

 scattered records. The most extensive single paper is the report by 

 J. Percy Moore (1909b) on a collection of polychaetes dredged in 

 1908 by Owen Bryant off the coasts of Labrador, Newfoundland, and 

 Nova Scotia; 38 of the 51 species mentioned in that report were found 

 on the Labrador coast. Most of the collection w^as deposited in the 

 National Museum and is referred to below. The Blue Dolphinl 

 collections nearly double the number of polychaete species known from ' 

 Labrador. 



The writer acknowledges her appreciation to the authorities of thei 

 Smithsonian Institution for allowing her to make use of the facilities:' 

 of the National Museum, and especially to Dr. Waldo L. Schmitti! 

 and Dr. Fenner A. Chace, Jr., of the Department of Zoology staff 

 there. Special thanks are also due to Mr. David C. Nutt of the 

 Dartmouth College Museum for his helpful suggestions and 

 assistance.
