PREFACE. 



ARTHUR TERRY MUNDY, of Cornwood, near Plymouth, was an 

 inspiring example of what may be accomplished under the most 

 adverse circumstances. Prevented from indulging in active scientific 

 intercourse by the heart trouble which has now, at the early age 

 of 27, removed him from our midst, he yet contrived to maintain 

 a cheerful spirit and to exhibit unlimited enthusiasm for the acquisition 

 and increase of natural knowledge. 



Even when fully conscious of his near approach towards the 

 Great Unknown, he strove, heroically, to complete the following notes 

 and drawings, the publication of which has been rendered possible 

 by the generous assistance of SIR WILLIAM and LADY PARKER. 



Professor MIALL, F.R.S., greatly encouraged him ; and to see the 

 work through the press has been the privilege of one who knew 

 and valued the sterling qualities and friendship of the author.
