BRYOZOA FROM LABRADOR, NEWFOUNDLAND, AND 

 NOVA SCOTIA, COLLECTED BY DR. OWEN BRYANT. 



By Raymond C. Osbuen, 



Assistant Professor of Zoology, Columbia University. 



During the summer of 1908 Dr. Owen Bryant made a collection of 

 marine animals off the northeastern coast of North America. Bryozoa 

 were obtained at eighteen of the dredging stations, which extended from 

 Cape Mugford, Labrador, about latitude 58°, to Cape Sable, Nova 

 Scotia, in latitude about 43°. In depth the dredgings range from 5 to 

 110 fathoms. While the material in this group brought back by 

 Doctor Bryant was small in amount it was fairly rich in species, as 

 indicated by the list of 24 genera and 51 species. 



To avoid constant repetition in the catalogue the depth and char- 

 acter of bottom of the dredging stations is given in the following table:

The nomenclature of the Bryozoa has undergone so much revision 

 since the earUer work of Dawson, Stimpson, Packard, and Verrill that 

 many of the specific names cited by these writers are now scarcely 

 recognizable except to the specialist in tliis group. I have therefore 

 included in the synonymy all the names that have been applied by 

 writers on North American Bryozoa to the species mentioned in this 

 list, whenever such names differ from the present usage.
