Fifty‐four species of Cheilostome and Ctenostome Bryozoa are reported from 75 stations along the continental slope of western Europe. Three new species are described. The collection comprises remnants of the richer shelf fauna plus a deeper water element, with a predominance of northern stenothermal species.
