Introduction: During a stay at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Station, Mandapam Camp (S. India), in April 1958, an opportunity arose to collect some Polychaetes from the Gulf of Marmar. Special attention was paid to the small forms which hitherto have been rather neglected in Indian waters. The 17 samples taken comprise 50-55 species, most of which cannot be identified at present owing to lack of literature. Eight of them, from groups more familiar to the author, have been selected for a detailed study. Of these, Prionospio sexoculata Augener has already been recorded in this area ; but Prionospio malmgreni Claparede and Oriopsis armandi (Claparede) are new to India ; Poecilochaetus serpens (Claparede) and Raphidrilus nemasoma Monticelli are new to the Indian Ocean while Dorvillea mandapamae, Oriopsis coalescens and Augeneriella hummelincki Banse, subsp. indica are new to science.
