Note. — It was at first intended to publish these results as part of Gardiner's 'Fauna and Geography' of the Maldive Islands,' as indicated by the references in my paper on
Phyllochaetopterus from East Africa (P. Z. S. 1903, vol. i. p. 169). Since, however, it is now evident that a great simplification of the literature of the group can be made by publishing the two accounts together, they will henceforth appear under the one title shown at the head of Part III. of the East-African Polychaeta.
