Abstract
The paper reports the occurrence of twelve species of Archiannelids in the interstitial sands of the Waltair beach. Of these, six European species are reported for the first time from Indian waters and their occurrence on the Indian coast is of great interest from a Zoogeographical aspect of their distribution.
