166. HALICORNARIA HIANS. Bale. 



This species was obtained by the Rattlesnake in Torres Straits, 

 and has been described by Busk as Plumularia hians (1.) Bale 

 places it in the Genus Halicornaria (2.) 



167. HALICORNARIA HASWELLI. Bale. 



This species was obtained at Port Curtis and has been described 

 by Bale (3.) 



168. HALICORNARIA LONUIROSTRIS. Bale. 



This species was obtained in South Australia and "Victoria, and 

 has been described by Kirchenpauer (4) as Aglaophenia longi- 

 rostris. Bale (5) considers his Aglaophenia Thompsoni to be 

 identical with it, and combines the two in H. longirostris. 



169 HALICORNARIA HUMILIS. Bale. 



This species grows on other Hydroids of the same genus, and 

 has therefore been described as parasitic by Bale (6), like the 

 previous one. It is found in Port Phillip and Queenscliff. 



170. HALICORNARIA PROLIFERA. Bale. 



This species is found in Queenscliff. Bale (7) described it 

 lirst as Aglaophenia prolifera, afterwards (8) he placed it in the 

 Genus Halicornaria.
