INTRODUCTION 



Practically nothing was known of the annelids of the 

 North Pacific coast before Johnson's valuable reports of 1897 and 

 1901 — the first entitled ' A Preliminary Account of the Marine 

 Annelids of the Pacific Coast,' the other ' The Polychasta of the 

 Puget Sound Region.* This is especially true of Alaska, a few 

 species only having been recorded north of Vancouver Island, 

 British Columbia ; therefore the collections made by Dr. William 

 E. Ritter, of the University of California, and Dr. Wesley R. 

 Coe, of Yale University, as members of the Harriman Alaska 

 Expedition of 1899, are of great interest.
