First fossil finds of some Australian Bryozoa (Cheilostomata)

The abundant fossil record of well-preserved Bryozoa in samples from the Tertiary of Victoria and South Australia includes some \u27first fossil finds\u27 which are recorded here. Several are of species known from the Recent of the Australian or Indo-West-Pacific regions, but some represent genera with a much wider temporal and geographical range. Of the 11 species illustrated, six are known, or may be inferred, to have inhabited \u27sand fauna\u27 environments. Specimens of one species are complete enough to allow its formal description as Chlidoniopsis inopina sp. nov. <br /
