Abstract: Previous results on quasi-classical limit of the KP and Toda hierarchies are now extended to the BKP hierarchy. Basic tools such as the Lax representation, the Baker-Akhiezer function and the tau function are reformulated so as to fit into the analysis of quasi-classical limit. Two subalgebras WB1+infty and wB1+infty of the W-infinity algebras W1+infty and w1+infty are introduced as fundamental Lie algebras of the BKP hierarchy and its quasi-classical limit, the dispersionless BKP hierarchy. The quantum W-infinity algebra WB1+infty emerges in symmetries of the BKP hierarchy. In quasi-classical limit, these WB1+infty symmetries are shown to be contracted into wB1+infty symmetries of the dispersionless BKP hierarchy.
