BY

OF THE NATURAL HIST. DEPARTMENT, BRITISH MUSEUM, LATE PALAZONTOLOGIST TO THE 
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF GREAT BRITAIN, PAST PRESIDENT OF THE 
GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY, ETC. 
With Map, Tumerous Tables, and CThirty=sir Plates, 
“Tn 1854 Prof. JoHN Morris published the Second Edition of his ‘Catalogue 
of British Fossils,’ then numbering 1,280 genera and 4.000 species. Since 
that date 3,000 genera and nearly 12,000 new species have been described, 
thus bringing up the muster-roll of extinct life in the British Islands alone to 
3,680 genera and 16,000 known and described species. 
‘Numerous TABLES of ORGANIC REMAINS have been prepared and 
brought down to 1884, embracing the accumulated wealth of the labours of 
past and present investigators during the last thirty years. Eleven of these 
Tables contain every known British genus, zoologically or systematically placed, 
with the number of species in each, showing their broad distribution through 
time. The remaining 105 Tables are devoted to the analysis, relation, 
historical value, and distribution of specific life through each group of strata. 
These tabular deductions, as well as the Palzontological Analyses through the 
Sere Gn ee 
text, are, for the first time, fully prepared for English students.” —4xtract from 
Author's Preface. 
* * PROSPECTUS of the above important work—perhaps the MOST ELABORATE of 
its kind ever written, and one calculated to givea new strength to the study 
of Geology in Britain—may be had on application to the Publishers. 
It is not too much to say that the work will be found to occupy a place 
entirely its own, and will become an indispensable guide to every British 
Geolozist. 
‘©N > such compendium of geological knowledge has ever been brought together before.” — 
Westuinster Review. 
“© Pror. SEELEY’s volume was remarkable for its originality and the breadth of its views, 
Mr. ETHERIDGE fully justifies the assertion made in his preface that his book differs in con- 
struction and detail from any known manual. . . . Must take HIGH RANK AMONG WORKS 
OF REFERENCE.” —A theneum.
