Abstract
The paper reports the occurrence of eight species of microscopic interstitial polychaetes in the sandy beach of Waltair Coast. All the eight forms have not previously been recorded from India. Among the forms reported some are previously known only from the Atlantic and their occurrence in Indian Ocean throws considerable light on their geographical distribution.
