This district possesses a Hydroid fauna so different from any other 
region, that Allman has ranked it as a distinct province. 36 species of 
Sert-ulariidcB and 21 species of Plumulariidce are known in S. E. Australia 
and Tasmania. The following species are described as new to the locality 
dealt with : — Sertularia bispinosa , S. trispinosa , S. minima, S. Jlosculus , 
S. pulchella , S. ( Diphasia P) sub-carinata , S. patula, S. loculosa, Sertular - 
ella neglecta , S. simplex, S. johnstoni, Thuiaria ambigua , Plumularia cam- 
panula, Aglaophenia divaricata. Five new species of Sertularia , 5 of 
Sertularella , 1 of Thuiaria , a new genus Halicornopsis , for a single 
species II . avicularis , 8 now species of Aglaophenia , and 9 of Plumularia 
are described.
