Introductory remarks: "In 1884 a volume entitled ‘ Report on the Zoological Collections made in the Indo-Pacific Ocean during the Voyage of H.M.S. “Alert,” 1881-2 ’ was published by the British Museum. This volume contains a systematic account of the greater part of the material presented by the Admiralty to the British Museum, but no report upon the Polychaeta, a substantial collection of which was obtained by Dr. R. W. Coppinger off the coast of Queensland and in the China Sea, besides a few collected in the Magellan region. The present paper is an account of three families belonging to this collection which has remained untouched in the possession of the British Museum for over forty years. I have in one or two cases included in my descriptions specimens in the possession of the British Museum other than those belonging to the ‘ Alert ’ collection. I have followed Fauvel, McIntosh, and others in retaining the name Eunice as against Leodice, although the latter has priority."
