 tionship — at least in its bryozoan fauna — to certain strata in Europe, 

 it is desirable that a detailed study be made, not merely to present 

 descriptions of the species, but to bring out principles involved in 

 intercontinental correlation. Our collections of Bryozoa secured from 

 Vincentown, New Jersey ( tig. 10), and other points along the Atlantic 

 Coastal Plain, assure us of abundant material from which to obtain 

 tangible results. The work had progressed so far by July, the time 

 of Doctor Canu's return to France, that completion of the monograph 

 is practically assured.
