This communication includes the description of sixteen species of cheilostome Bryozoa from the lower Miocene (Burdigalian) of Quilon beds of Padappakara, Kerala, India. Four out of these species are newly indexed. They are Skylonia malabarica, Vincularia taylori, Adeonellopsis keralaensis and Stylopoma warkhalensis. The species in these rocks are reported for the first time. These species are Nellia tenella, Tretosina sp.1, Tretosina sp. 2., Steginoporella cf. vicksburgia, Cosciniopsis sp., Adeona articulata, Adeona sp., Adeonellopsis sp., ?Emballotheca sp., Stylopoma aff. magniovicellata, ?Petraliella sp. and Anoteropora magnicapitata. Majority of them are tropical to subtropical, warm water species. Affinities with Indo-Pacific and Atlantic bryozoan faunas are discussed. Palaeoecological analysis of zoarial growth forms indicate moderate to high sedimentation rate and deposition in the inner shelf environment.
