Bryozoan horizon at the top of the Glencar Limestone arrowed. SYSTEMATIC PALAEONTOLOGY During the course of this study three cases of misidentification of taxa in earlier described collections came to light. All cases have a bearing on the systematics of the Asbian bryozoan fauna described below. The first two cases of misidentification were those of WYSE JACKSON M'Coy (1844) who identified two Lower Carboniferous bryozoans as being conspecific with two Devonian taxa (Millepora gracilis and Millepora similis) described three years earlier by PhiHips (1841). The Carboniferous taxa have been redescribed and named, below and elsewhere (Wyse Jackson & Bancroft, 1995a) as Rhomhopora cylindrica sp. nov. and Rhabdomeson progracile re- spectively. Millepora gracilis as originally described by Philhps (1841) contains specimens herein considered to belong to two genera - Rhabdomeson and Rhomhopora. The third case of misidentification is that of Owen (1966). Rhomhopora radialis Owen, 1966 is synonomised with Pseitdonematopora turkestanica (Nikiforova, 1948). More detailed discussion of the contrasting taxa is given in the discussion section of Pseudonematopora planatus sp. nov. and Rhomhopora cylindrica sp. nov., and in Wyse Jackson & Bancroft (1995a) For completeness brief descriptions are given of the following taxa which have been described more fully elsewhere: Rhabdo- meson progracile Wyse Jackson & Bancroft 1995, Rhabdomeson rhombiferwn (Phillips, 1841), Baculopora megastoma (M'Coy, 1
