rSG MESSES. E. HEEON-ALLEN AND A. EAELAND ON THE 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



The number of authorities referred to in the synonymies of the four hundred and seventy odd species 

 ilescribed in this Monograph is so great (exceeding two hundred) that it has been necessary to make every 

 effort to economise space. The principle, therefore, first adopted by us in the Clare Island Monograph 

 has been followed here. 



Names of authors, titles of articles, and full bibliographical references to the Transactions and 

 Proceedings in which they are to be found are given once and for all in this Bibliograph}', some lengthy 

 titles being shortened, as follows : — 



AMNH. = Annals and Magazine of Natural History. 

 JRMS. = Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society, London. 

 JQMC. = Journal of the Quekett Microscopical Club, London. 

 MASIB. = Memoi-ie della Reale Accademia delle Scienze dell' Istituto di Bologna. 



QJGS. = Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, London. 

 SAWW. = Sitzungsberichte der Kaiserliche Akademie der Wissenschaften Wien. (D=Denkschrift.) 



The titles of all papers and books ai-e indicated by initials only, after the date of publication, and the 

 first letter of the author's name: — thus, C. 1892, PTO. = F. Chapman, ' Microzoa from the Phosphatic 

 Chalk of Taplow,' the page, etc., only being given, and all further details being found under that initial 

 :uid date in the Bibliography. In the case of long or short series of papers, the date of the first is given 

 and the initials are followed by the year in which the paper referred to appeared: thus, M. 1898, itc- 

 FM. 1900 = the papers of Millett's series beginning in 1898, which were published in JEMS, in 1900. 



The confusion which results from some authors giving the year in which a part of a volume w.ts 

 published, or a paper was read, as opposed to the year in which the complete volume was published, has 

 been arbitrarily settled in this Monograph by giving, wherever practicable, the date given by Sherborn 

 in his ' Bibliography of the Foraminifera, 15G5-1888,' a second volume of which (1888-1913)' we hope 

 shortly to issue. 



In some cases we have been compelled to fix our own dates arbitraril}' — as, for instance, in some of 

 J. Wright's papei's, e. g., W. 1885-6, BLP., in which the plate is lettered 1884-5. Brady, when 

 ijuoting d'Orbigny's Cuba Monograph of 1839, nearly always gave the page in the Spanish edition of 

 1840. We have invariably given the pagination of the original French edition of 1839. When plates 

 liave two numbers, as in some of the Memoirs of the Societe Geologiquede France, both numbers are given 

 e. g., T. 1878, FIR. pi. ix. (xiv.). 



Again, much confusion has crept into synonj-mies by reason of the fortunately obsolete practice of 

 re-paginating reprints, a practice which reaches its worst development and results in Pai'ker &, Jones' 

 ' Nomenclature of the Foraminifera' (P. & J., etc., 1859, etc., NF.) ; we have endeavoured in every case to 

 give the original jjage of the journal in which the papers were published.
