  A 
  Preliminary 
  Notice 
  of 
  a 
  Stalked 
  Bryozoon 
  (Asco- 
  

   rhiza

  The 
  number 
  of 
  genera 
  of 
  Biyozoa 
  which 
  people 
  the 
  waters 
  of 
  

   the 
  coast 
  of 
  California 
  is 
  very 
  great, 
  and 
  their 
  study 
  is 
  a 
  most 
  

   fertile 
  field 
  for 
  research. 
  While 
  there 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  great 
  

   difference 
  in 
  the 
  Bryozoan 
  fauna 
  of 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  and 
  Pacific 
  

   shores 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States, 
  we 
  find 
  many 
  genera 
  common 
  to 
  

   both. 
  

  

  In 
  an 
  investigation 
  of 
  the 
  marine 
  Invertebrata, 
  carried 
  on 
  at 
  

   Santa 
  Barbara 
  *, 
  my 
  attention 
  was 
  turned 
  to 
  the 
  great 
  variety 
  

   in 
  the 
  forms 
  of 
  Bryozoa 
  which 
  inhabit 
  the 
  Santa 
  Barbara 
  

   Channel. 
  Many 
  of 
  these 
  animals 
  there 
  grow 
  to 
  a 
  large 
  

   size 
  and 
  are 
  sometimes 
  found 
  in 
  huge 
  masses, 
  which 
  are 
  

   known 
  as 
  corals 
  to 
  the 
  few 
  fishermen 
  who 
  sail 
  on 
  these 
  waters.

  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Augustus 
  Hemenway, 
  of 
  Boston, 
  Massachu- 
  

   setts, 
  for 
  opportunities 
  of 
  carrying 
  on 
  studies 
  in 
  marine 
  zoology 
  on 
  the 
  

   coast 
  of 
  California. 
  

  

  A 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  Invertebrata 
  collected 
  on 
  the 
  coast 
  of 
  California, 
  in 
  which 
  

   a 
  more 
  extended 
  account 
  of 
  Ascorhiza 
  will 
  appear, 
  will 
  soon 
  be 
  published 
  

   for 
  me 
  in 
  the 
  ' 
  Bulletin' 
  of 
  the 
  Museum 
  of 
  Comparative 
  Zoology 
  at 
  Cam-
