XXVT. — The Polyzoa of the Adriatic: a Supplement to Prof. 

 Heller^s 'Die Bryozoen des adriatischen MeereSy 1867. By 

 the Rev. Thomas Hincks, B.A., F.R.S. 



[Plates IX. & X.] 



The material on which the following papers are based has 

 been placed in aiy hands by my friend Dr. Pieper, of Olfen, 

 who has given much attention to both the Hydroida* and the 

 Polyzoa of tlie Adriatic. I propose to include in them a list 

 of the Polyzoa which occur in Dr. Pieper's collection, but are 

 not recorded by Heller in the above-mentioned work, with 

 descriptions of new species and varieties, and critical notes on 

 such as are imperfectly known.

Abundant. The erect form attains a very luxuriant 

 growth; the marked dwarf variety (pygmcea), which occurs 

 on the British coasts, is also present in the Adriatic. 



* AVe are indebted to him for a Tery Aaluable series of papers on the 

 Hvdroida of the Adriatic, published in successive numbei's of the ' Zoolo- 

 gischer Anzeiger ' for 1884 (nos. 162-165 inclusiYe), which constitute a 

 supplement to Heller's 'Die Zoophvten &c. des adriatischen Meeres ' 

 (1868).
