TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY. 



VIII. — Alcide cVOrhigny, his Life and his Work. 

 By Edward Heron-Allen, F.L.S. P.R.M.S. 



Errata and Corrigenda. 



The Memoir published under the above title in the current volume 

 of the Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society (1917, pp. 1-105) 

 has been translated, by permission of the Council, for publication 

 in the " Bulletin du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle," by a 

 French scientist. Since the publication of the Memoir I have been 

 in correspondence with several members of the d'Orbigny family, 

 with the translator, and with other readers, who have called my 

 attention to a few errors, for which the sources of my work were 

 responsible, and have suggested one or two alterations which I am 

 happy to adopt. Besides these, my attention has been drawn to 

 one or two misprints which, in spite of careful proof-reading, 

 escaped me. I take this opportunity of recording these Corrigenda 

 in the current volume.

 quote the date of the second volume as 1852. My copy has two 

 separate title-pages, for the two facsimiles of the second volume, 

 and they are dated 1851 and 1852 respectively." Both title- 

 pages in my copy are dated 1852, and the " Prodrome " is quoted 

 as being already published on p. 11 of the first facsimile.
