Professor Benham laid on the table a paper on “The Marine Annelids of the New Zealand Shores.” In doing so he said that, although most groups of our native animals had been studied more or less, the marine annelids had been entirely neglected. A few had been described by early zoologists in the sixties, but since then only one new species had been described in the Transactions of the Institute—that was Lepidonotus giganteus, described by Mr. Kirk in 1878. The speaker had gathered together a considerable amount of material, some of which he found in the Museum, collected by Captain Hutton, others by Professor Parker, and a good quantity he had collected himself from time to time.
