Abstract

Südwest-Australiens und ihre geographischen Beziehungen. In: Mitt. Geogr. Ges. Hamburg, XXII, p. 17. '^-Annandale. spined gemmule-spicules ; from S. nitens, another allied form, it is distinguisliod by its very mueh sharper and more slender skeleton-spicules. Locality: ]{. Zambesi near the Victoria Falls; W. Michaelsen, 18. Anglist 1911. Type in the Hamburg Natural History Museum. A co-type in the Indian Museum. Subgen. Stratospongilla, Annandale. This subgenu)^is also well represented in the African fauna, to which four species were hitherto known to belong. I have here to add a fifth from Dr. Michaelsen\s coUection. The live species may be distinguished one from another by the following key, which may be used in connection with those of the Indian species given on p. 385 of Vol. VII of the Records of the Indian Museum (1912) and on p. 68 of my volume in the "Fauna of British India". Key to the African species of Stratosponffilla. I. Skeleton-spicules amphioxous. A. Skeleton-spicules rough or irregulär in outline

Subfossil statoblasts of Lophopodella capensis (Sollas, 1908) (Bryozoa, Phylactolaemata, Lophopodidae) in the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene sediments of a montane wetland, Eastern Mau Forest, Kenya

“…It has been observed at water depths from littoral to 18 m depth (Lacourt 1967). L. capensis specimens were originally described from Vlei, Cape town, South Africa, in 1908(collected in October 1907, and has since then been documented at other locations including Namibia in 1911 (Kraepelin 1914), multiple sites in the Transvaal since 1928 (Hastings 1929), Lake Naivasha, Kenya (Jenkin 1936), and more recently in the Golan Heights, Israel in 1967 (Massard and Geimer 1991). Additional reports of specimens from sites in Japan and UK, but, these have not been confirmed with certainty.…”
