ABSTRACT
Thomas E. Bolton (1924-1997) (Nowlan & Smith 1998) was an early member of the International Bryozoology Association, and contributed a number of significant studies of Early Paleozoic Bryozoa in the course of his long and productive career with the Geological Survey of Canada, based in Ottawa. This present paper represents several years of cooperative collaboration, and will probably be Tom’s last bryozoan paper. He also published extensively on many other taxa, Ordovician and Silurian faunas, and stratigraphy all across Canada. He was honored by election to be President of the Paleontological Society (1991), receipt of the Billings Medal of the Geological Association of Canada, and by the great respect and admiration of those of us fortunate enough to have worked with him.
