Early meetings were held in Orkney, South Shields, Guernsey, Portaferry, Cardiff, Menai, Plymouth, Millport and the Isle of Man, with themes ranging from marine parasites to meiofauna. Although many members were malacologists we soon had members interested in algae, sponges, polychaetes, crustaceans, pycnogonids and fish.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM l>y ihc I SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 105 Washington : 1956 No. 3361 MARINE POLYCIIAETE WORMS FROM LABRADOR By Marian H. Pettibone ^ This report on the polychaete fauna of Labrador is based on material collected by the Blue Dolphin Expeditions to Labrador and Newfoundland in 1949, 1950, 1951, and 1952 under the command of David C Nutt. The collections were made between 51° and 60° north latitude, in the intertidal zone and in depths of from 4 to 125 fathoms, on bottoms of silt, mud, sand, rubble, pebbles, stones, and rocks, together with detritus, shells, corals, bryozoans, algae, worm tubes, and various combinations of these. The collections are de- posited in the U. S. National Museum. Additional records for some of the Labrador species are cited from other collections in that museum. This paper supplements to some extent the report on the polychaetes of Point Barrow, Alaska (Pettibone, 1954). Of the 68 species in the Labrador collections, 45 were found at Point Barrow. In the syste- matic portion below, only those hterature references not mentioned in the earlier paper are cited ; more'complete synonymies for the species common to both regions will bo found in the Point Barrow report. I Department of Zoology, University of New Hatupshire, Durhaia, N. H. 366148—56 1 581 532 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. loe The polychaete fauna of Labrador is known only from a few scattered records. The most extensive single paper is the report by J. Percy Moore (1909b) on a collection of polychaetes dredged in 1908 by Owen Bryant off the coasts of Labrador, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia; 38 of the 51 species mentioned in that report were found on the Labrador coast.
