SYNOPSIS OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, 



WITH ESPECIAL EEFERENCE TO 



THE FOSSIL FOEMS. 



By E. T. Newton, F.G.S., P.Z.S., 

 Of the Geological Survey of England and "Wales. 



EXPLANATOEY NOTES. 



This table is founded on the classifications proposed by Prof. Huxley, with such 

 modifications as are rendered necessary by recent discoveries. 



The groups generally regarded as orders and sub-orders are printed in thick type 

 on the left of each page ; and on the right will be found examples of each of these 

 groups arranged in the following manner : — First (in small type), one or more of 

 the best known living forms, where these exist ; next (iN CAPITALS), one or more 

 genera which are living at the present day, and occur also as fossils ; and lastly 

 {in italics), a few of the more important forms which are known only as fossils. 



An asterisk (*) is placed before those genera which have not been found fossil 

 in Britain. 



A note of interrogation (?) after a genus shows that there is some doubt as to the 

 group in which it should be placed.
