DAE (BRYOZOA).

(Plate XVIII.) 
The collection of J. R. Y. Goldstein, an early worker on the 
Recent Bryozoa of Victoria, was recently discovered at the 
premises of the Royal Society of Victoria and has since been 
presented in part to the National Museum. The bulk of the 
collection consists of Recent Bryozoa, including European 
species obtained from A. W. Waters by exchange, portion of 
the material described by Goldstein from the Marion Islands 
(1882) and bulk material from Port Denison and Holborn 
Island (Queensland), the faunules of which were described 
by Haswell (1880). 
Of more particular interest to the author was the discovery 
of balsam mounts partly supplying the key to Goldstein’s 
nomina nuda of Catenicellidae published in Jelly’s catalogue 
(1889) ; these form the subject of this contribution. Enquiries 
made by Sir Sidney F. Harmer for the author at the British 
Museum (Nat. Hist.) and at the Manchester Museum, have 
added considerable information to the subject, and my 
acknowledgments are due to him and to Miss Hastings, Ph.D. 
(Brit. Mus.) and Miss Legge (Manchester Mus.). 
The material here considered was collected in the Bass 
Strait region ; no exact localities are indicated on the original 
labels, but the specimens probably come from the Bracebridge 
Wilson dredgings taken at Port Phillip Heads. 
The following inferences have been drawn, from the facts 
now come to light, regarding the reason for the publication 
of the nomina nuda and the previous history of these names. 
The series of balsam mounts, including previously described 
species and Goldstein’s MS. species, appear to have been 
prepared at the one time since the balsam is baked to the same 
colour and similar labels, with the inscriptions written in 
lead pencil, are used in all cases. Of the previously-described 
forms, “Catenicella” wilsoni Macgillivray, 1880, is the latest 
allotted a name in the series of slides, thus fixing the earliest
