Abstract

Thirteen species of hydroids from the Kermadec Islands collected at depths to 24 m by scuba divers are reported. Only 19 species are known from the Kermadec Islands, all from shallow water, eight of these being reported by Hilgendorf (1911) from beach drift at Sunday Island (now Raoul Island). Five species in this collection are exclusively tropical and eight have temperate to tropical affinities. A new species, Halecium fijiensis is described.
