FRESH-WATER NEREIDS FROM THE PACIFIC COAST AND HAWAII. 



VI. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. 



Within the past two years several short papers on fresh-water Polychseta have 

 appeared, interest in the subject having been aroused by the publication of Nus- 

 baum's account(:01) of two new sabellids from Lake BaikalT(Dybowscella baicalen- 

 sis, D. godlewskii). By the addition of these, of Saint-Joseph's (:01) Lycastis 

 senegalensis, of Gravier's (:01) three French-Guiana species, and of the three herein 

 described, the list of fresh- and brackish-water Polychseta has rapidly lengthened. 

 The euryhaline * species at present recorded are the following:

 change in the salinity of the water. Its opposite is "stenohaline."
