Abstract
THE annelid Ctenodrilus does not seem to have been recorded outside Europe, so that its occurrence in quantity at Ladysmith Harbour, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, B.C., is perhaps worthy of note. A small artificial lagoon was constructed there last summer in connexion with work on oyster culture in which the temperature of the water rose abnormally high. Material collected with a towed plankton net in this lagoon in August contained large numbers of Ctenodrilus serratus (O. Schmidt) which has probably been swept off the eel-grass and other vegetation growing there.
