description <abstract language="eng">In the present paper the author reported the results obtained for the chemical caracterization of the pigments of some species of Bryozoa (Polyzoa), living in the bay and the coast near Rio de Janeiro. The pigments (biochromes) of "Bugula neritina", "Schizoporella unicornis", "Steganoporella magnilabris", "Bugula flabellata" and "Trigonospora sp", were extracted and the results showed that carotene was found in all the species, except, "Bugula neritina" and "Bugula flabellata". A new water-soluble pigment was described for "Bugula neritina". Spectrophotometric curves obtained with the Beckman spectrophotometer are reported for the "Bugula" pigment and for the carotenoids. Chromatographic analysis and the treatment with immiscible solvents were performed for all the extracts of the animals considered. A study of the biochromes of other "phyla" will be published in a near future.
