We report a previously unrecorded woody species, Stachyurus praecox Siebold & Zucc. (Stachyuraceae), in Korea. This species is considered to be endemic to Japan. Stachyurus praecox was collected for the first time in an evergreen forest on an uninhabited island of Bongsun-ri, Saengil-myeon, Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do in Korea. The inflorescence of the species was racemose and pendulous on the axils of the previous year's branches. Flowers bloomed from March to April. They were functionally dioecy but morphologically hermaphrodite. This woody species was named 'Wan-do-sul-kkot-na-mu' in Korean based on the shape of its inflorescence. Morphological characteristics and illustrations of this woody species have been provided with a distribution map and photographs of the natural habitat.

We found Urtica dioica L., an unrecorded alien plant, in the Han River basin of Korea. U. dioica is considered to be native to Europe, much of temperate Asia and western North Africa. This plant has been introduced to many other parts of the world. In Particularly, it reported as an invasive species from East Asia (Japan), Oceania and South America. This species is distinguished from related Korean taxa of the genus by its unisexual flower and dioecious plant species. In the Neighbor-Joining tree, U. dioica samples from the Han River Park (Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul) and Yangjaecheon Stream (Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul) clustered into a clade consisting of a U. dioica s.s. Here, we provide a precise description, illustrations, a key to the related taxa, and photographs of its habitat.

The Northwestern Okcheon Metamorphic Belt in the Chungju area consists of the Munjuri Formation, the Daehyangsan Quartzite, the Hyangsanri Dolomite, and the Gyemyeongsan Formation, but the stratigraphy is still controversial. For a stratigraphic study, detailed stratigraphic sections were measured in two locations and mapping was carried out in the study area. The Munjuri Formation and the Daehyangsan Quartzite changed gradually in north and south section, but bedding parallel faults have developed in the boundary between two formations. The Daehyangsan Quartzite and the Hyangsanri Dolomite are conformable. Fault have developed in boundary between the Hyangsanri Dolomite and the Gyemyeongsan Formation. As a result of mapping in the study area, folding was recognized with $41^{\circ}/280^{\circ}$ plunging axis in the north part of the study area. Therefore, the bedding-parallel faults in the boundary might have occurred resulting from a layer parallel slip during the folding as well as the thrust. These results from this study and previous studies indicate that bedding-parallel faults in boundary between the Munjuri Formation and the Daehyangsan Quartzite are caused by a layer parallel slip during the folding. The fault between the Hyangsanri Dolomite and the Gyemyeongsan Formation is considered as a thrust fault, thereby the uppermost Gyemyeongsan Formation is placed under the Munjuri Formation. However the Gyemyeongsan Formation and the Munjuri Formation have similar age and rock composition. Hence, the Gyemyeongsan Formation is considered as an equivalent one with the Munjuri Formation. Therefore, the stratigraphy of Northwestern Okcheon Metamorphic Belt consists of the Gyemyeongsan/ Munjuri formations, the Daehyangsan Quartzite, and the Hyangsanri Dolomite in ascending order.

From March 1998 to April 2000, 4 species of marine fishes including black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli), goby (Acanthogobius flavimannus), fine-spooted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus), and croaker (Nibea albiflora) were captured from the coastal area of the Gogunsan island located in the mouth of the Kum River, and greenling (Hexagrammos otakii) was sampled from the coastal areas of the Gogunsan island and the Wan-do. Trematodes from the stomach and the intestine of the fishes were detected and identified on the basis of the morphological characteristics. Four species of trematodes were detected in the stomach and the intestine of the examined fishes ; Opecoelus lobatus Ozaki, 1925 from black rockfish, fine-spotted flounder and greenling, Coitoecum glandulosum Yamaguti, 1934 from goby, Phyllodistomum sp. Braun, 1899 from croaker, and Pharyngora sp. Lebour, 1908 from greenling captured from Wan-do. This report gave morphological descriptions of O. lobatus, Pharyngora sp. and Phyllodistomum sp. from coastal marine fishes in Korea.

Osteological characteristics of skull, shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, vertebrae, and pterygiophore of the four members of the genus Acanthogobius are described and compared. Characteristics of the metaterygoid, branchiostegals, urohyal, scapular, and pterygiophores that have been used to classify gobioid fishes were not different between the four species. However, ossification of the lacrymal and the number of ossified gill rakers differ from one Acanthogobius species to another. A. flavimanus is distinguished from its congeners in the size of the medial ethmoid, the number of caudal vertebrae, and the distance from left to right lateral ethmoid. A. lactipes has a large basihyal, and A. luridus has a wide distance from left to right lateral ethmoid: these are among the unique characters that distinguish them from other members of the genus. A. elongata differs notably from its congeners in the number of premaxillary and dentary teeth, the shape of the epural, and the length of the cranium.

One new species of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) from Korea, Poruchordodes megareolatus, is described. The specimen is reported from the human urinary system. The significance of this and other reports from the urinary system is discussed. The characteristics of the new species are clusters of a small type of cuticular structures, the areoles, which are associated with a second type of areoles, the large megareoles. Another character unique for the genus Parachordodes is the fusion of rows of cuticular bristles on the ventral side anterior of the cloacal opening.

Three species of Coitocoecum, C. orthorchis, C. latum and C. glandulosum were found from the marine fish of the Korean southern sea. Among them, C. latum and C. glandulosum were reported for the first time in Korea, and Acanthopagrus schlegeli was recorded as a new host species for C. glandulosum. Two species, C. acanthogobium and C. koreanum, reported by Park (1939) were treated as synomyms of C. orthorchis.

The soil hypotrichs collected from the moss-covered soils in the campus of Seoul National University were identified as Holosticha multistylata Kahl, 1928 and H. sylvatica Foissner, 1982. These two species are discovered for the first time from Korea and redescribed with illustrations. The description was based on the observation of living specimens, protargol impregnated specimens and biometric analysis. They are distinguished from congeneric species by their following characteristics : 4 frontal cirri in H. multistylata and 7-8 in H. sylvatica, 3 buccal cirri in H. multistylata and 1 in H. sylvatica, 3 dorsal kineties in H. multistylata and 5 in H. sylvatica.

Bopyrid isopods collected from 35 localities in Korea were examined. Twelve species in 12 genera were identified and classified onto 7 subfamilies, of which following 8 species are new to Korea : Metaboyrus ovalis Shiino, Bopyrissa pyriforma (shiino), Ione cornuta Spence Bate, Parapenaeonella distincta Shiino, Bopyriodes Hippolytes (Kroyer), Pseudostegias dulicilacuum Markham, Athelges takanoshimensis Ishii and Eophrixus shojii Shiino. Athelges japonicus Shiino is found out to be a junior synonym of a.takanoshimensis Ishii. Eight unrecorded scpecies in Korea are descried with figures. Other two species , Apocepon pulcher Nierstrasz et Brender Brandis and Argeia pugettensis Dana. Are provided with figures.

The present study on the classified and distribution of Korean marine archeogastropods is mainly based on the materials which were collected by the authors from July, 1979 to August, 1988 to 60 localities in the south Korean continental shelf. In addition to the 52 species and 8 subspecies of archeogastropods that have been reported from Korean waters, 9 species are found to be new to the fauna of Korea ; Diodora sieboldii (Reeve), Montfortula pulchra A. Adams, Colisella langfordi Habe, Notoacmea gloriosa Habe, Mesoclanculus ater (Pilsbry) , Cantharidus hirasei (Pilsbry), Guildfordia triumphans (Pilsbry), Tristichotrochus aculeatus (Sowerby), Homalopoma sangarense(Schrenck). The Korean marine archeogatropod fauna comprises 4 suborders, 5 superfamilies 10 families , 61 species and 8 subspecies. The authors listed the scienfic name of the korean archeogastropods in correct and described the unrcorded species from korea with keys to species and families.
