Administrative History

Bryozoa are aquatic invertebrate animals which form colonies by repeated budding of communicating members. They are found throughout the world in lakes, rivers and oceans, including the Arctic and Antarctic, however Australia probably has more than any other Continent. They first appeared 5,000,000,000 years ago and their skeletons form a major part of some rocks. About 15,000 fossil and 5,000 living species are known, with more being discovered annually. They are an important fouling organism and some species are resistant to anti-fouling paints.

The Bryozoa Section at the British Museum (Natural History), directly under, successively, Sir Sidney Harmer, Anna Hastings, Patricia L. Cook with P.J. Hayward and P.J. Chimonides, has carried out important work on the identification of Australian species and maintained a lengthy correspondence with Australian scientists also working in the field.

Finding-aid Notes

This finding aid is a revised online version of the original finding aid prepared by the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP), published by the National Library of Australia in 2019. The original AJCP finding aids were unpublished typescripts or photocopies available from libraries that held copies of the original microfilm.

Dates used in this finding aid refer to the date range of the records selected for filming rather than to the date range of the Series or Files.

Biographical / Historical

Sir Sidney Frederic Harmer (1862-1950) was educated at University College, London, and Kings College, Cambridge. In 1890 he became Superintendent of the University Museum of Zoology. He joined the British Museum (Natural History) in 1907 and was keeper of zoology (1907-1919) and director (1919-1927). His research at Cambridge had centred on the embryology, anatomy and taxonomy of Polyzoa and Cephalodiscus.

Biographical / Historical

Eliza Catherine Jelly (1829-1914), who lived in Cornwall, had a strong interest in Bryozoa. The genus Jellyella is named in her honour. Paul Howard MacGillivray (1834-1895), the son and brother of noted naturalists, was educated at the University of Aberdeen. He migrated to Victoria in 1855 and practised medicine at Williamstown and Bendigo. From 1859 onwards he published a number of papers on Australian species of Phylum Polyzoa (Bryozoa).

Biographical / Historical

Frederick Wollaston Hutton (1836-1905) served in the Army from 1854 to 1865 and then migrated to New Zealand. In 1871 he was appointed assistant geologist on the New Zealand Geological Survey. He worked as provincial geologist and museum curator in Dunedin (1873-1880) and then moved to Christchurch, where he was Professor of biology at Canterbury University (1880-1892) and curator of the museum (1892-1905).

George Harry Uttley (b. 1879), a geologist by training, was the first headmaster of Scots College, Wellington (1916-1922) and the headmaster of Wairarapa High School (1923-1929). Anna Birchall Hastings (b.1905) joined the British Museum (Natural History) in 1927 and worked on the Antarctic Bryozoa from the Discovery and other expeditions.
