POLYZOA.
(*) An asterisk against names of species denotes that specimens of these species are in the upright part of Case A and preserved in spirit.
Upright Table-Cases A and B, at south end of Shell Gallery.
From a casual glance at the contents of these cases, it might be supposed that many of the specimens exhibited therein were seaweeds; but a closer inspection, especially with a lens, will reveal structure of a kind not to be found in any plant.
Let us select for examination Flustra foliacea, the Broad-leaved Hornwrack or Sea-Mat (Fig. 1), (Case A 1), commonly to be found among heaps of seaweed cast up on sandy shores round our coasts.
