Professor Dr. DIVA DINIZ CORREA, Head of the Department of Zoology of the University of Sao Paulo, was able to work at the “Caraibisch Marien-Biologisch Instituut” (Caribbean Marine Biological Institute: Carmabi) at Curacao from December 1965 to March 1966, thanks to a grant received from the Government of the Netherlands. There she collected 26 species of Polyclads, and took notes of their shapes and colours. Furthermore Dr. PIETER WAGENAAR HUMMELINCK, of Utrecht, sent us a large collection of polyclads from the Caribbean area, gathered on his trips from 1930 to 1964. He had also collected in 1963 in the Miami area. We received some samples from the latter area from Prof. Dr. CORREA and Prof. Dr. FREDERICK M. BAYER, of Miami. Drs. LILIANA FORNERIS, WALTER NARCHI, and SERGIO DE ALMEIDA RODRIGUES, all of Sao Paulo, gave us interesting Brazilian material.
