VIII. — On Poly zoa from Iceland and Labrador. 

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



[Plates X. & XI.] 



The species noticed in the present paper were obtained by 

 Dr. Wallich off the coasts of Iceland and Labrador. For the 

 opportunity of examining them I am indebted to Mr. Busk. 

 Some new forms occur amongst them ; and they have besides 

 their special interest as illustrating local variation and geo- 

 graphical distribution. 



The material which I have dealt with in this paper has 

 been for a very long time in my hands^ but after partial exa- 

 mination was laid aside under the pressure of other engage- 

 ments.
