| Abstract |
This paper reports on the polychaetous annelids of the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica. It is based on material from three sources: (1) collections made by Dr B.W. Balham, biologist with the Ross Sea party of the Trans-Antarctic (New Zealand) Expedition during 1956-58, (2) the extensive collections undertaken by the New Zealand OceanographicInstitute, DSIR during the course of two cruises in HMNZS Endeavour during the summers of 1958-59 and 1959-60, and (3) collections made as part of the Stanford University (California) Benthic Invertebrate Studies in Antarctica from 1958 to 1960. Data on previously reported polychaete records from the Ross Sea are summarised and descriptions are given for species not present in the collections listed above. |
