dentigera, F. rhizophora ^ F. pisciformis , Carhasea crihriformis, Cel- 

 laria tenuirostris , Memhranipora tenuirostris , M. tuherculata^ M. 

 radicifera, Thalamoporclla smittii, Microporclla malusii, Lagenipora

 fera, Retepora producta, R. monilifera, Adeonella platalea, A. dis- 

 tonia, Celkpora cylindriformis , Bowerhankia caudata. Many of 

 these species have been found in AustraUan waters. 



Two species {Bifaxaria ? and Reteporella ? ) are doubtful ; 

 while twenty-one have been alread}^ found in Indian seas. Of the 

 latter, four were included in a list of fourteen species collected by 

 Mr. Thurston in the Gulf of Manaar and described {Madras Gov. 

 Mus. Bull , No. 3, 1905) by Mr. Kirkpatrick ; six were in the late 

 Dr. J. Anderson's Mergui collection, named by Hincks in 1887 

 ijourn. Linn. Soc. ZooL, vol. xxi) ; six were identified by Hincks 

 in a list of various collections from India, Singapore and Ce3don, 

 recorded by him in his ' ' Contribution towards a General History 

 of the Marine Polyzoa " in the Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., series 5, vol. 

 vi, and subsequent volumes ; while one, Memhranipora bengalensis , 

 was described by the late Dr. F. Stoliczka in the Journ. Asiat. Soc. 

 Bengal, part 2, vol. xxxviii, p. 55, 1869. All these species, with 

 the exception of the last and of Thalamoporella smittii, were re- 

 corded by me, with thirty-eight others, in my report on the Polyzoa 

 collected by Professor Herdman off the coast of Ceylon in 1902 

 (Suppl. Report XXVI to Herdman 's Ceylon Pearl Oyster Fisheries, 

 pt. iv).
