Fax: 981596904 Abstract: A revision was carried out of bryozoan specimens collected between 1914 and 1930 by the French research vessel Pourquoi Pas? in the English Channel and around the British Isles, and stored in the Muséum National d´Histoire Naturelle in Paris. A total of 87 species was identified, of which 15 belong to the order Cyclostomata and 72 to the order Cheilostomata. Morphological and biological data are provided for four species as some taxonomic comments for another four species. Two new species, Escharella cryptooecium sp. nov. and Escharella pseudopunctata sp. nov., are described. It is further proposed that species of the genus Haywardipora Soule, Soule & Chaney, 1996 be reclassified in the genera Escharella Gray, 1848 and Elleschara Gordon, 1984. Résumé : Bryozoaires des expéditions du Pourquoi Pas ? en Manche et autour des Iles Britanniques entre 1914 et 1930. Ce travail est consacré à la révision des spécimens de bryozoaires récoltés entre 1914 et 1930 par le navire océanographique français Pourquoi Pas? en Manche et autour des îles Britanniques, conservés dans les collections du Muséum National d´Histoire Naturelle de Paris. Au total, 87 espèces ont été identifiées, 15 appartenant au l’ordre des Cyclostomata et 72 à l’ordre des Cheilostomata. Des renseignements morphologiques et biologiques sont fournis pour 4 espèces ainsi que des commentaires taxonomiques pour 4 autres. Deux espèces nouvelles, Escharella cryptooecium sp. nov. et Escharella pseudopunctata sp. nov., sont décrites. On propose également que les espèces du genre Haywardipora Soule, Soule & Chaney, 1996 soient inclues dans le genre Escharella Gray, 1848 et Elleschara Gordon, 1984.

The ship sank in 1936, during a research survey on the coast of Iceland. The French research vessel Pourquoi Pas? conducted During the surveys, oceanographic, topographic and several surveys in different areas of the world (Antarctic, meteorological data were collected, as well as samples of Artic, Mediterranean Sea and Northeast Atlantic) under the flora and fauna. The faunal material was deposited in the Muséum National d´Histoire Naturelle in Paris, and parts of it have been studied by different authors.

At because of insufficient data regarding their origin or least part of the material collected from the Mediterranean because they were Antarctic species (Beania erecta Waters, Sea has been lost; it was loaned by Jean-Baptiste Charcot to 1904; Celleporella antarctica Moyano & Gordon, 1980; Marcel Prenant for examination and was not found after the Inversiula nutrix Jullien, 1909; Isoschizoporella tricuspis death of the latter.

The label of each In the present study, we examined some of the samples indicated the station at which the sample was collected, and collected by the Pourquoi Pas? in the Northeast Atlantic, in some cases the coordinates and the depth.
