Goldfuss’ work was fundamental, as he founded many of the 
commonest Cretaceous species. To Marsson we owe the important 
monograph on the Riigen Senonian fauna, which had been 
inadequately described by von Hagenow. 
The Bohemian faunas, of which the Cenomanian is the most 
interesting, are closely related to those of Germany, and have been 
described by Bomer, von lleuss, Xovak, and Pocta. Fric has 
described from the Bohemian Cretaceous the one known fossil 
referred to the Phylactolaemata. 
The Belgian Bryozoa all belong to the Tipper Cretaceous (Senonian 
and Banian), and they are well known through the work of 
von Hagenow, Beissel, XJbaghs, and Pergens & Meunier. 
In the extra-European countries the Cretaceous Bryozoa are still 
imperfectly known. The Maastrichtian series has yielded an 
extensive fauna in Hew Jersey. A few species were described 
therefrom by Morton and Lonsdale, and it is now well known by 
the works of Gabb, Horn, and Stuart NYelier. From Texas two 
Cretaceous species have been described by Ulrich. 
From Southern Tunis Peron has described a Cretaceous fauna 
allied to that of Southern France. 
The chief Asiatic representatives are from India, and were 
described by Stoliczka. An Australian species was described by 
Moore. A few are known from South Africa, and have been 
described by Mr. TY. B. Lang. 
It is unfortunate that the existing extra-European Cretaceous 
Bryozoa are so little known that they afford no adequate evidence 
as to geographical distribution during the Cretaceous era. The 
Maastrichtian series, which is so rich in Europe, has contributed 
the one important fauna in America. Knowledge of the Bryozoa 
from the Cretaceous of South America, Queensland, and Hew 
Zealand would be of much interest. 
The Ceetaceous Betozoa Collection. 
The British Museum Collection of Cretaceous Bryozoa is large 
and representative, and has been slowly acquired from many 
British and Foreign geologists. The basis of the British Collection 
is the large series of Chalk fossils from the south-east of England 
in the Mantell, Bixon, and Bowerbank Collections. The magnificent 
series of Bryozoa from the Middle Chalk of Chatham has been
