With Plates XLII. and XLIII. 



The Polyzoa collected by Dr Willey were obtained mainly from Lifu, in the 

 Loyalty Isles. 



The collection contains 63 species of which 9 are new. They are divided among 

 the three sub-orders as follows : 



Cheilostomata 46 species. 

 Cyclostomata 16 species. 

 Ctenostomata 1 species. 



The specimens were compared with those in the British Museum and in the Cam- 

 bridge University Museum of Zoology, to which Dr Willey has presented his collection. 

 I wish to express my thanks to Mr Kirkpatrick for facilities afforded me at the 

 British Museum and especially to Dr Harmer for the interest he has taken in my 

 work and the very kind help he has given me. 



The nomenclature adopted in this paper is that used in Miss Jelly's " Synonymic 

 Catalogue of Marine Bryozoa," in which full references are given to the literature on 

 the group.
