ECTOPROCYA = BRYOZOA
A large and important collection of material from all over the world; about two thirds are in alcohol, the rest is dry.
Identified material has formed the basis for numerous papers by, e.g., A. Livingstone (Mortensen's exped.), G.M.R. Levinsen, E. Marcus (Danmarks Fauna), K. Bille Hansen (Faroe Islands), P. Cook (Atlantide exped.), and P. Hayward (Galathea exped., BIOFAR). There is a card catalog for all the identified specimens.
