INTRODUCTION. 



The Polyzoa here described are derived from various sources, 

 chiefly from the collections made by the Indian Marine Survey 

 (R.I.M.S. " Investigator "), the late Mr. J. Wood-Mason, the late 

 Dr. J. Anderson, and a few private donors. With the exception of 

 a small number of specimens from Gaspar Straits and the Straits 

 of Malacca, the whole of the material is from Indian seas.

 which specimens are recorded : —

 while the following twenty-four are new to Indian waters : Mtea
