Abstract
Studies of the distribution of china clay waste and its effects on the bottom communities off the south coast of Cornwall, initiated by Portmann (1970) and Howell & Shelton (1970), have been supplemented by further surveys, the results of which will appear in future papers by Shelton & Rolfe (in preparation) and Probert (in preparation). This paper describes two polychaete species which have been discovered in this area, namely the hesionid Gyptis capensis (Day) and the ampharetid Sosane sulcata Malmgren. From the zoogeographical viewpoint, the records of both species are of great interest: hitherto, G. capensis was known only from southern Africa and the tropical West Pacific region, and S. sulcata from Scandinavia, West Scotland and the Mediterranean.
