[Annelida] Polychaetes in J Nat Hist

[Geoff Read]

FYI

A recently released August issue of Journal of Natural History has
three polychaete taxonomy papers, each of which I found most interesting
to dip into (if I only had more time ...) and cover more than 'just
taxonomy' if you are a non-taxonomist.
