ZOOPHYTES OF GUERXSEY. l7l 



need veiy much revisioD, which has already in part been 

 carried out." 



I may remind you that Dr. Norman was this year the 

 recipient of the highest honour which can be conferred in this 

 country on a man of science, — he was awarded the Linnean 

 Gold Medal ; in presenting wdiich, the President of the Linnean 

 Society referred to him as " a naturalist who has probably 

 done more than any other man living to make known to science 

 the Invertebrate Fauna of the seas of North-west Europe." 



With respect to the Hydroida, the list which follows is 

 perhaps not quite so complete, for there is no reason why 

 our shores should not be proportionately equally rich in 

 Hydroid Zoophytes as in Polyzoa. A fairly good list is given 

 in Ansted's Channel Islands^ second edition, p. 240, most of 

 the records being probably supplied by the late Mrs. Collings 

 of Sark. I have include.! these, as well as a few others taken 

 from reliable sources, but for all the species found by me in 

 Guernsey I have given localities and notes which may be 

 helpful to other workers. And here I wish to express my 

 grateful acknowledgments to Canon Norman for taking the 

 trouble to examine the whole of my gatherings, and deter- 

 mining many species (especially of Polyzoa) which I could 

 not name with certainty. 



In the following list will be found 57 species of Hydroida, 

 and 121 species of Polyzoa, without counting a number of 

 named varieties. In addition to the forms occurring in our 

 own area 1 have included a few Jersey species when the 

 records are well authenticated.
