THE ANTARCTIC RESEARCH SERIES
DURINGTHE INTERNATIONAL GEOPHYSICAL YEARdiscussionswere held among geo-

physicists,biologists,geologists,
and othersmdiscussions aimed at developinga me-
dium for the publicationof the papersresultingfrom the intensiveresearchwork
being donein Antarctica. The AntarcticResearchSeriesis designedto providethis
medium,presentingauthoritativework with uniformly high scientificand editorial
standardsfrom leadingscientists engagedin Antarcticresearch.
In a sensethe seriescontinuesa tradition dating from the earliestdays of geo-
graphic explorationand scientificexpeditions--thetradition of the expeditionary
volumeswhich set forth in rich detail everythingthat was seenand studied. But in
muchof the presentAntarcticwork oneexpeditionblendsinto the next, and it is no
longerscientificallymeaningfulto separatethem. However,Antarcticresearchin all
disciplineshas a large degreeof coherenceand deservesthe moderncounterpartto
the expeditionaryvolumesof past decadesand centuries.
Papersappearingin the seriesrepresentoriginal contributions too lengthyor
otherwiseunsuitablefor publicationin the standardscientificjournals. The material
publishedis directednot only to scientistsactivelyengagedin the work but to grad-
uate studentsand scientistsin closelyrelated fields as well. The serieswill serveas
a sourceof informationboth for the specialistand for the layman versedin the
biologicaland physicalsciences.Many of the early volumeswill be cohesivecollec-
tions of researchpapersgroupedarounda centraltheme. An editor for eachbook
is drawn from the disciplineit represents,as are the reviewerson whomeacheditor
relies.
Early in 1963 the National ScienceFoundationmade a grant to the American
Geophysical Union to initiate the series,and a Board of AssociateEditorswas ap-
pointedto crystallizeand implementit. To representthe broadnatureof the series,
the membersof the Board were chosenfrom all fields of Antarctic research. They
includeJarvis Hadley, representing
geologyand solid Earth geophysics; Harry W.
Wells,aeronomyand geomagnetism; A. P. Crary, seisinology
and glaciology;George
A. Llano, botanyand zoology;Waldo L. Schmitt,marinebiologyand oceanography;
and Morton J. Rubin, meteorology.AGU staff memberscontributingto the Series
includeJudith McCombs,managingeditor, and Marie L. Webner,styleeditor.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTARCTIC POLYCHAETES
THE POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS of Antarctica are known Ophioglyceraeximia, GONIADIDAE, lengthto 760 mm,
mainly through dredging records from expeditions width 13 mm;
whose objectiveswere other than collecting these Eunice/rauen/eldi,EUNICIDAE, to 300 mm by 6 mm;
organisms.As a resultmany of the recordsare based Chaetopterus variopedatus,CHAETOPTERIDAE, to 250
on specimenscoming from widely scatteredplaces, mm by 25 mm;
rather than on faunal complexes from selectedor well Asychis amphiglypta,MALDANIDAE, to 230 mm by
spacedlocalities. This partly accountsfor the large 4 ram;
numbersknown throughsinglerecordsand, perhaps, Aglaophamusmacroura, NEPHTYDAE, to 200 mm
also the large numberof uniquespecies(see above). by 15 ram;
Most speciesare known only from Antarctic re- Thelepuscincinnatus,TEREBELLDAE, to 190 mm by
gionsor in latitudessouthof 50S. The geographic 7.5 mm;
isolationof the continentand the extremelylow and Laetmoniceproducta,APHaODTDAE, to 180 mm by
uniform temperaturesfrom intertidal to near-abyssal 50 ram;
depthsare significant. It may be for these reasons
Nicon ehlersi,NEaEIDAE, to 175 mm by 8 ram;
that the specieshave both a circum-Antarcticand a
Nereiseugeniae,NEaEDAE, to 170 mm by 3 ram;

species.
Isocirrusyungi, MALDANDAE, to 170 mm long;
The 10 best representedfamilies are the POLY-
