SOME POLYZOA, ETC., FROM 
WALNEY AND BARDSEA, NORTH min keane" 
ISTER PETTY 
Uibicdivne. North POLES : 
It is stated in Vol. I. of the ‘Fauna of ae Bay,’ 1886, 
that the portion of the area between Blackpool and Fleetwood 
was the least worked. But the higher, say Fleetwood. to 
Morecambe, is still less known, and so far as evidence at present 
goes, the portion of Morecambe Bay from the town of the name 
to Barrow is unknown to workers on the Hydroida and Polyzoa. 
Why, I do not know, unless it be that ‘ working men’ prefer to 
visit good collecting places. The following short list is given 
aS a contribution towards the extension of range .of. these 
classes in Lancashire. All were collected on Walney Island last 
August, during an hour or so I had to spare, after hunting for 
a plant, unseen since 1888. If any reader has specimens from 
this area I shall be glad to name them. Besides the zoophytes - 
and polyzoa some sponges rewarded me, and I have to thank 
Mr. Hornell, of Jersey, for their names. With the exception of 
Sertularia gracilis all were dead; it was not only alive but in 
fine fruit. Unlike the experience at Filey, Corad/ina officinalis L. 
at Walney was a good host; even a sponge (Aymeniacidon 
carunculum) was attached to it. 
The names and order follow Hincks’ books on Hydroida and 
Polyzoa.
