98, 23-24. Foraminifera: hole-bearing organisms (Latin 

 foramen (foramin-), a hole, -f- ferre, to bear). 



98, 28. Lamp-shell. These all belong to the family of the 

 terebratulida, or bored-through organisms (Latin terebrare, to 

 bore). 



98, 32-33. Diminished head. See Milton's Paradise Lost, 



v> 33-34: 



" At whose sight all the stars 

 Hide their diminished heads." 



99, i. Battle of Hastings. In this battle, fought October 

 14, 1066, the Normans under William the Conqueror defeated 

 the Saxons or English under King Harold. 



100, 23. " Older tertiary." With the coming of life the 

 geological record is classified into four divisions: i. The 

 Primary or Palaeozoic (ancient life) Period, 2. The Secondary 

 or Mesozoic (middle life) Period, 3. The Tertiary or Cainozoic 

 (recent life) Period, 4. The Quaternary or Post-Tertiary 



Period. 



102, 1-2. " Without haste, but without rest." This was 

 one of Huxley's favorite quotations from Goethe. See Spriiche 

 in Reimen: Zahme Xenien, II. J. S. Blackie translates the 

 complete passage as follows: 



"Like the star 

 That shines afar, 

 Without haste 

 And without rest, 



Let each man wheel with steady sway 

 Round the task that rules the day, 

 And do his best."

 past and present records. Luke Hansard (1752-1828) was the 

 official printer of the English parliamentary reports. 



105, 12. To particularly emphasize. Note the so-called 

 " split infinitive." There are cases where this idiom is justi- 

 fied by the demands of euphony or clearness, but this hardly 

 seems one of them.
