Contributions To British Palaeontology From The Tertiary Cretaceous Oolitic And Palaeozoic Strata Of Great Britain PDF Download

Excerpt from Contributions to British Palaeontology: Or First Descriptions of Three Hundred and Sixty Species and Several Genera of Fossil Radiata, Articulata, Mollusca, and Pisces From the Tertiary, Creatogous, Oolitic, and Palaezoic Strata of Great Britain The following descriptions have appeared at intervals in the 'Annals of Natural History' during the last six years, and a small impression of the series of papers descriptive of new British Fossils is now published in a connected form for convenience of reference. I originally intended to issue a set of Plates with this volume, but although several of the species are yet unfigured, illustrations of many others have appeared, since their original publication, in the volumes of the Palaeontographical Society, and elsewhere by others, as well as in the Catalogue of the Cambridge Palaeozoic Fossils by myself, and it was not thought desirable to add to the expense of the volume by incurring the cost of the large number of plates which would be required to illustrate the remaining species, principally from the newer rocks.
