    <abstract>This is a historical dataset that was published in 1939 by Chas.H. O&amp;#39;Donoghue, D.Sc. &amp; Dora de Watteville,M.A and concerns the collection of es of Bryozoa collected during the floristical and faunistical survey of Adolf Steuer on the coasts near Alexandria mainly with the vessel “El Hoot”. The digitization of this dataset was done by LifewatchGreece team.Dates have been reported via the stations which have been digitized on the preliminary report.(http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r&amp;#61;egyptexpeditionpreliminaryrepor).</abstract>

          <para>This dataset is only a part from a large faunistical expedition (http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r=egyptexpeditionpreliminaryrepor) that took place in the coasts near Alexandria. The samples were collected by A. Steuer. For bottom samples almost exclusively a dredge with 20x70 cm opening was used. A single catch was made in a depth of 20 m with a large otter trawl in the eastern part of the Bay of Abukir. In general, the motor-launch of the Marine Laboratory "El Hoot" was used for dredging and a rowing boat in shallow water. All excursions were one-day trips. After the expedition, taxonomic identification of the samples was done by specialists. The results of this expedition were published in separate for each taxonomic group volumes. Thus, sampling methods were described in a preliminary report by A. Steuer.Bryozoa were identified by Chas.H.O'Donoghue, DSc.&amp; Dora de Watteville,M.A.</para>
