[introduction] In connection with a study of the scaled polychaetes of San
Juan Archipelago and adjacent regions, a check was made on the
types of the species Gattyana imbricata Treadwell (Treadwell,
1926), the specimens of which were kindly lent to me by the
American Museum of Natural History. The parts of nine speci-
mens labeled by Treadwell as G. imbrtcata Treadwell proved to
involve six species-five known and one unknown. The specimen
of the latter species (see below, under new species) was not used in
the original description of G. imbricata by Treadwell. He used
three specimens which proved to be G. cirrosa (Pallas) and Evar-
nella triannulata (Moore), thus making Gattyana imbricata Tread-
well an invalid species. The polychaetes were collected by Capt.
R. A. Bartlett in Alaska in the general region of Bering Strait in
1924, under the auspices of the National Geographic Society.
The species represented and the localities where they were ob-
tained are as follows.
