Eliza Catherine Jelly
Eliza Catherine Jelly (28 September 1829 – 3 November 1914) was an English bryozoologist. She was one of the first women to work and publish in the field of bryozoology. Her 1889 text ''The Synonymic Catalogue of the Recent Marine Bryozoa'' is still used as a reference material. Early life Eliza Catherine Jelly was born in Bath, Somerset, the daughter of Harry Jelly, an Anglican clergyman, and Eliza Jelly (née Cave), who came from a family of builders in Bath. Her father Harry, orphaned as an infant, was a naturalist and had long been interested in paleontology, and frequently went searching for fossils, plants, and insects. He is recorded as having donated fossils from Wiltshire to the Bath Literary and Philosophical Institute in 1826. He later took a fossil-collecting trip to Jamaica and donated these specimens to the Geological Society of London in September 1839. The Jelly family lived in Bath and Bristol until Eliza was about 13 years old. The family later moved to Devo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyclostomatida
Cyclostomatida, or cyclostomata (also known as cyclostomes), are an ancient order of stenolaemate bryozoans which first appeared in the Lower Ordovician. It consists of 7+ suborders, 59+ families, 373+ genera, and 666+ species. The cyclostome bryozoans were dominant in the Mesozoic; since that era, they have decreased. Currently, cyclostomes seldom constitute more than 20% of the species recorded in regional bryozoan faunas. Taxonomy Traditionally, cyclostomes have been divided into two groups according to the skeletal organization. In free-walled (or double-walled) cyclostomes, the exterior frontal walls of the zooids are uncalcified; autozooids have either a polygonal aperture bounded by vertical interior walls, or a subcircular aperture in species with kenozooids filling the spaces between the autozooids. By contrast, fixed-walled (or single-walled) cyclostomes have much of the exterior frontal wall calcified; autozooids normally have a subcircular aperture located at ...

Jellyella
''Jellyella'' is a genus of bryozoans in the family Membraniporidae. Etymology The genus is named in honour of Eliza Catherine Jelly (1829–1914), of Cornwall, England, in honour of her contributions to the study of bryozoans. Morphology ''Jellyella'' closely resemble ''Membranipora'', and in common with other members of the family Membraniporidae has twinned ancestrular zooids. However, ''Jellyella'' can be distinguished by the presence of intricately branched processes (called spinules) projecting into the zooidal chambers. ''Jellyella'' also have a calcitic skeletal ultrastructure made up of transversely arranged, elongate spindles. Ecology ''Jellyella'' is unusual in being a pseudoplanktonic bryozoan found encrusting floating objects, both natural and artificial. ''Jellyella eburnea'' is common on shells of the squid '' Spirula'' (which become detached from the soft body of the squid after death) and on the shells of the planktonic gastropod '' Janthina''.
