6 VINE: NOTES ON POLYZOA FOUND AT CLEETHORPES. 
When one looks over the admirable ‘Report on the Polyzoa’ 
(Proc. Lit. Phil. Soc. Liverpool, vol. xi, pp. 161-200), by my friend 
Mr. Joseph Lomas—from the Liverpool district—and compares his 
list with the present one, I can anticipate before-hand what the result 
of their criticism would be. It must, however, be remembered 
that the advantages possessed by Mr. Lomas are denied to me. He 
had the advantageous help of the Liverpool Marine Biological 
Committee, and the débris, etc., from various dredgings placed at 
his disposal ; whilst I give the record only of the species found— 
under favourable circumstances I will admit—in the beach débris. 
I do hope, however, that before long the dredgings off the 
eastern coasts will be as fruitful of results, in a biological sense, 
as the dredgings of the Liverpool Committee have been. Most 
important additions to our previous knowledge may be found when 
studying the migratory habits of the Ctenostomata. Of this group 
alone nineteen species are recorded from the Liverpool district by 
Mr. Lomas, whilst as yet I can only record one species from 
Cleethorpes. I hope, therefore, that special attention will be given 
to this group by future biological students. 
I have not thought it wise to load the present paper with a long 
list of synonyms and references, but I deem it most important to 
give brief notes on the species recorded, and in every case I have 
given the pages of Vol. I. of the Rev. T. Hincks’ work on British 
Marine Polyzoa (John Van Voorst, London, 1880) on which 
descriptions may be found. I have also given references to the 
plates and figures (Vol. II.) by the same author. These I shall 
merely quote as follows: B.M.P. pp. —, pl.—, figs. etc. If, however, 
the student of British Marine Polyzoa desires a more accurate 
knowledge of the ‘synonymy’ of species, he cannot do better 
than place side by side with Hincks’, Miss E. C. Jelly’s admirable 
‘Synonymic Catalogue of the Recent Marine Bryozoa’ (Dulau & Co., 
Soho Square, London, 1889). 
Class POLYZOA = BRYOZOA. 
Sub-Order CHEILOSTOMATA Busk. 
Genus AETEA Lamouroux. : 
1.? Aetea truncata Landsborough. 
B.M.P., p. 8, pl. i, fig. 11. 
I am rather doubtful about the small fragment which I place 
here, but it appears to be the stoloniferous portion of the 
dwarf variety of this species. On Algae.
