281 Canon A. M. Norman — Notes on the 



" Systematisk oversigt over Norges Annulata Polychseta," 

 Clirist. Vidensk.-Selsk. Forhandl. 1894. Dr. Armauer 

 Hansen's Report on the Annelids in the Norwegian North- 

 Atlantic Expedition also gives many Annelids of East Fin- 

 mark from Stats. 160, 161, and 16.2. 



The following particulars with regard to the distribution of 

 Annelids on the Norwegian coast are derived from Bideukap's 

 lists : — 



1. Total number of species of Polycbseta known in Norway . . 207 



2. Species found on the south coast 118 



3. Species found on the west coast up to Trondhjem 150 



4. Species found in the Trondhjem Fiord 94 



5. Species found in the Lofoten Islands sea 97 



6. Species in the whole of Norway north of the Lofoten Islands, 108 



7. Recorded here from East Finmark 80 



The areas represented by these figures are very variable in 

 size, 4, 5, and 7 being much smaller than the others ; 7 is, 

 of course, a part, and only a very small part, of 6. 



Twenty years ago G. W. R. Levinsen published his 

 " Systematisk-geografisk Oversigt over de nordiske Annulata, 

 Gephyrea, Chsetognathi og Balanoglossi " (Vidensk. Meddel. 

 fra den naturh. Foren. i Kjobenhavn, 1882 and 1883). Since 

 that time additions have been made to the several faunas ; 

 but it remains the most recent summary of the annelidan 

 fauna of the northern countries. 



Denmark 138 



Sweden 147 



Norway 191 



Novaja Zembla and Kara Sea 97 



Siberia and Bering's Strait 66 



Spitsbergen 82 



Faroe Islands ' 64 



Iceland 71 



Greenland 109 



North-east America 106 



Unfortunately we have no recent complete work on 

 British Polychseta or even anything like a catalogue of the 

 species. At the present time many British species have 

 merely been indicated by perhaps a few lines in the midst of 

 a paragraph. The fullest local catalogues we have are those 

 of Dr. J, F.Gemmill of the Clyde District*, which contains 121 



* 'Fauna, Flora, and Geology of the Clyde Area/ Glasgow, 1901. 

 (Published by Local Committee of the British Association.)
