REES & VERVOORT: HYDROIDS JOHN MURRAY EXPEDITION 3 HYDROIDS FROM THE JOHN MURRAY EXPEDTION TO THE INDIAN OCEAN, WITH REVISORY NOTES ON HYDRODENDRON, ABIETI- NELLA, CRYPTOLARIA AND ZYGOPHYLAX (CNIDARIA: HYDRO- ZOA) by W. J. REES and W. VERVOORT Rees, W. J. & W. Vervoort: Hydroids from the John Murray Expedition to the Indian Ocean, with revisory notes on Hydrodendron, Abietinella, Cryptolaria and Zygophylax (Cnidaria, Hydro- zoa). Zool. Verh. Leiden 237, 16-ii-1987: 1-209, figs. 1-43, tabs. 1-37. - ISSN 0024-1652. Key words: Cnidaria; Hydrozoa; genera; relationships, new species; deep-water fauna Indian Ocean. Fourty-four species and one variety of hydroids were identified in the John Murray hydroid collection, obtained from the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the northern part of the Indian Ocean, largely from deep water localities. Of these 44 species 2 could be identified only to genus, 1 species is doubtfully mentioned and 5 are new to science. The 44 species we assigned to 2 families of athecate and 6 families of thecate hydroids. In many instances the species have been compared with the type material which, where necessary, was redescribed. A number of additional species, not represented in the John Murray collection has also been redescribed and/or figured. Practical• ly all the John Murray hydroids are figured. Deposition of spirit-preserved type and other material (alc.), including microslide preparations (slds) in the collections of the British Museum (Natural History) (BMNH) and in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (National Museum of Natural History), Leiden, Netherlands (RMNH), is indicated. Holotypes, and where necessary paratypes, have been indicated of Zygophylax millardae sp. nov., Zygophylax tottoni sp. nov., Sertularella whitei sp. nov., Cladocarpus indicus sp. nov., and Cladocarpus sewelli sp. nov. Holotype and paratype material of all these species has been deposited in the BMNH collections, Department of Zoology; schizoholotypes and some of the paratypes have been placed in the Coelenterate collection of the RMNH.

Rees, at that time curator of the coelenterate collection, BMNH, for scientific study. At the beginning of 1966 Dr Rees suggested to the second author to prepare a joint paper on this important and interesting collection: the material had at that time been provisionally sorted by his assistant Mr E. White and a number of microslide preparations had been prepared. Dr Rees's untimely death in 1967 made it necessary to continue single handed with our joint venture. A large number of additional microslides preparations had been made and a voluminous bundle of notes on the various species, the majority of which had been identified,
