This is the second report dealing with the oenthic Polychaeta collected on the continental shelf of the north-eastern Brazil (approximately between 9.º and 11.º of latitude south), by the Laboratorio de Ciencias do Mar (formerly Institute Oceanográfico) of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. In the first one we discussed only the scale-bearing species tNonato & Luna. 1969). Data concerning the area sampled by the Laboratorio de Ciencias do Mar can be found in the papers of Cavalcanti et al. and Mauksoonk & Tinoco, 1967. The present paper is about the scale-free species, in number of 71. Almost all the smaller species we can expect to find in similar areas, seem to be absent here. This may be due to their actual rarity or, most probably, to their destruction during sampling and sorting. The hard bottom prevailing in the area, which has a very rough surface, shaped by blocks and pebbles of calcareous algae and corals make the biological sampling a hard enterprise. It is particularly difficult to preserve the integrity of soft-bodied animals, such as the polychaetes, against the grinding action of the material inside the sampling devices. We must remember this exceptional condition when judging the apparent scarceness of the polychaetes. If the worm fauna of that region seems, at the first approach, very poor, in reality it may be not. In consequence we hope the use of improved methods of sampling will give far better results. The night fishing, with a submerged light, for example, may be a choice method to attract many species from the ground or from the otherwise unaccessible hide-outs. From the 71 species, only one has been considered as new for the science. Scoloplos agrestis sp. nov, approaches S. robustus Rullier and S. madiiguscarensis Fauvel, but differ from them by the number cf the thoracic sctigers (only 15) and by the number of accicular setae of the thoracic neuropodia (only 5 or 6). The Eunicea is the best represented group, with 26 species; the commonest being Eunice longicirrttia Webster (108 specimens, in 19 stations). Diopatra spiribmnchis Augener and also Hypsieomus elegans Webster are considered as good species. Only two flabelligerids were caught in the whole area; one of them is a well preserved specimen of Pherusa scutigera (Fhlersi and the other a damaged specimen of Piromis sp. The greatest part of the present species is believed to be similar to I hose-found in the Caribbean area, as we should expect. But a few show a great similarity with Pacific and Indian species. Some of them, as Glycera longipinnis Grube, Onuphis litorttlis Monro and Vermiliopsis acanthophora Augener, agree closely with the available descriptions.
