Annelids collected from eight stations in the western part of Lagos Lagoon between May, 1996 and February, 1998 were reported. Rainfall, salinity and sediment type influenced distribution of annelids, which were either dry season species, wet season species or euryhaline species. A total of fifty-five species were collected, thirty-one not recorded in earlier studies. Pollution indicators, Polydora sp., Capitella capitata, Nereis sp. and Tubifex sp. were collected in both dry and wet seasons.
