PREFACE. 



other supporters and subscribers to this work, my hearty 

 thanks are due. Without their encouragement and aid the 

 Index would never have been printed ; but I feel assured that 

 it will prove to be a useful key to the forty volumes of the 

 Geological Magasine (1864-1903), and be the means of saving- 

 valuable time to those who are engaged in original research, 

 or are otherwise interested in the history and progress of 

 Geological Science.
