CONTRIBUTION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARINE 

 FAUNA OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. 



By Edith M. Pratt, B.Sc. (Vict.), Research Student in Zoology at 

 The Owens College. 



The work in connection with this paper has been done in the 

 Zoological Laboratories of the Owens College, Manchester, under the 

 kind supervision of Professor Hickson. 



I must thank Dr. Harmer, of Cambridge, for his great kindness in 

 placing at my disposal his collection of Bryozoa, and for his kind aid in 

 identifying certain species. 



My thanks are also due to Mr. Kirkpatrick for assisting me in the 

 examination of the '' Busk " Collection of Bryozoa, at the British 

 Museum. 



The material at my disposal was collected by Miss Blake, at Hill 

 Cove, West Island, Falklands, during the months of September and 

 October, 1896, and the specimens may be regarded as forming a 

 typical common shore collection of that region, the shore at Hill Cove 

 being sandy with small rocks. 



Through the kindness of Mr. Standen, I have also had access to a 

 collection of Mollusca, on some of which grew various Bryozoa, made 

 by Miss Cobb at Lively Islands, Falklands. These were also shore 

 forms. 



In the Collection were the following species of Bryozoa : — 



Cheilostomata.
