1.7 to 123.5 fathoms on bottoms of mud, stones, gravel, rocks, in masses of worm tubes, and various combinations of these. Additional specimens were collected from fish traps, from screen traps lowered through holes made in the ice, and from plankton hauls, some of which were made through holes in the ice. The latter collections are of particular interest in that they include specimens showing sexual epitokous stages of some of the syllids. Considerable care was taken in going over the miscellaneous material and separating polychaetes, as evidenced by the large collection and the presence in it of many small specimens of the young of larger species as well as small species which are often overlooked. There are a great number of small syllids, phyllodocids, hesionids, and terebeUids. Great care also was taken in the preservation of the specimens. Some color notes were included and some color photographs were taken, and these added considerably to the value of the collection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
