While examining these colonies, it was noted that fouled frontal membranes in this bryozoan species, like those of cupuladriid bryozoans (Winston and Hakansson, 1989) and many others, underwent a molting process. The frontal walls of many zooids in older colony regions had become fouled with calcareous algae and algal films. Yet in patches, even in old regions, there were areas with clean greenish yellow walls. It was noticed during the avicularia observations that frontal walls of some fouled zooids had peeled partly off, and new frontal walls, transparent and shiny, lay beneath them. Other zooids had swollen frontal walls such as had been observed in molting cupuladriids. Peeling away the old frontal membrane exposed a new frontal wall, complete with new operculum, that had formed beneath the old one. ";& ,. Figure 13.
