collections from the two classic localities, Faringdon^, England, and 

 Sainte-Croix, Switzerland. The Faringdon specimens coming from 

 the Aptian division of the Lower Cretaceous were secured for us per- 

 sonally by W. E. Crane, of Washington, D. C, who with his usual 

 generosity presented all of the material to the United States National 

 Museum for study. Mr. Crane not only obtained an excellent rep- 

 resentation of the large forms but also made extensive sif tings of the 

 Faringdon sands, thus securing many small ramose examples which 

 are usually overlooked by collectors. 



The Swiss Lower Cretaceous material from the locality in the Val- 

 angian division at Sainte-Croix was loaned us for study through the 

 courtesy of Dr. Samuel Henshaw, director of the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology at Cambridge, Mass. All of the type specimens 

 from Faringdon are the property of the United States National 

 Museum while those from Sainte-Croix are shared with the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology. 



Gregory's excellent bibliography of papers dealing with Cretaceous 

 bryozoa published in volume 2 of his Catalogue of Fossil Bryozoa in 

 the British Museum makes it unnecessary for us to quote the litera- 

 ture upon this subject. We have not been able to rediscover all the 

 species described from the two localities studied, but we give in the 

 following two lists all of the species considered in the present paper.
