3l6 ROBERTSON 



The only work which has heretofore been published on the 

 Bryozoa of Alaska waters is that of Mr. Hincks in the report 

 on the Polyzoa of Qiieen Charlotte Islands ('82-84). Many 

 species are common to Alaska, Queen Charlotte Islands, Puget 

 Sound, and California, and under local distribution I have in- 

 cluded all the localities on the western coast of North America, 

 where I know, either from personal knowledge, or on the au- 

 thority of others, that a particular species exists.
