Abstract
In the course of benthic surveys carried out around the U.K. by the Oil Pollution Research Unit, a number of species of polychaete not previously recorded from British waters were found. A new species of Aricidea and six other species of the Paraonidae new for Britain have been described by Hartley (1981), and this note records a further five species taken either in the Firth of Forth (56° 19′ N, 3° 34.8′ W, 2–5–5 m depth, fine sand) or in the Forties oilfield (57° 44.0′ N, o° 54°0′ E, 100–130 m depth, fine to muddy sand) with 0.1 m2 Van Veen/Day grabs in September 1979 and June 1978 respectively. The sieve mesh used was 0.1 mm diameter.
