Polychaetous Annelids of Ungava Bay, Hudson Strait, Frobisher Bay and Cumberland Sound

Abstract

A collection of 74 species of polychaetous annelids, the greater part of which was obtained by the Calanus expeditions of 1947–1952 in Ungava Bay, Hudson Strait, Frobisher Bay and Cumberland Sound, is described. Twelve species are new records for the Canadian eastern arctic, and 2 are new for North America. The zoogeographical relationships of the known Canadian eastern arctic polychaete fauna are discussed.
