POLYZOA AND HYDROZOA AT FILEY. 
§:. Ll, PETTY, 
Ulverston. 
For a dweller on the outskirts of the Lake District to go to Filey 
and find rain there was a strong inducement to grumble; and to the 
weather I hope the paucity of my list will be accounted. The wet 
being conducive to rheumatism, I had to make the best of the few 
opportunities which offered for the collection of material, and not to 
be too particular about its condition if at all usable. As the Polyzoa 
sometimes harboured zoophytes, or vice versa, I give a list of what 
I saw; but here, as in the Polyzoa, the species are only common, 
Mr. Hincks often mentions the Brigg as a good collecting ground, 
and, under more favourable circumstances, so, too, I might have 
found it. My collecting place was under the cliffs on the other side 
(the new town side), where the tide deposited a mass of rubbish of 
all sorts. One fine piece of F/ustra foliacea gave me many species 
otherwise seen either alone or on wrack, and in one case not 
figures in all cases. Mr. Vine’s paper in this journal, January 1892, 
is the only one I am aware of on Yorkshire Polyzoa, but I have seen 
the notes about Spurn, Nat., 1884, P- 93- When a species is called 
not common, I mean that it was not so to me, nothing more.

POLYZOA. 
Eucratea chelata L. On Laminaria and Flustra foliacea in fair 
quantity. £. repens sparingly on Flustra at the base of 
specimen. H.M.P.i., 16. ‘Filey, under stones.’ 
Gemellaria loricata L. Frequent, both alone amongst débris 
and on Laminaria. ‘The largest piece I saw was about three 
inches long, but it had been broke. 41¢2.,%, 79. * Filey.’ 
Scrupocellaria scruposa L. On Flustra; a few bits only. 
H.M.P., i., 46. . ‘Generally distributed round our coasts.’ 
Scrupocellaria reptans L. By no means plentiful so far as my 
experience went. ‘The best § ecimens were obtained on 
lustra. U.M.P., i., 53- ‘ Universally distributed.’ 
Bicellaria ciliata L. Once only on Bugula purpurotincta, a nice 
bit, but not much of it. H.M.P., 1. oy. Filey.’ 
Bugula flabellata J. V. Thomp. On Fiustra, and alone in 
quantity. Some of the specimens dyed quite black by washing 
about in coal dust and ash on edge of tide mark. H.M.P., 80. 
* Filey.’
